| I'm replying your questions in the same order:<br/> *It was to impress Stalin with their fire power.<br/> *About 1 % of the 11oo planes were shot down.<br/> *The city was undefended and filled with fugatives and some prisoners of war (allie).<br/> *About 1100.<br/> *About 30000, say the allies; about 100000, say the nazis as well as the neutral countries.<br/> *It was a fire storm with fire bombs and bombs withextended ignition which exploded only afteru up to 24 hours to kill even the rescueteams.<br/> *It was a war crime just like Hitler had ordered but Bomber Harris got decorated instead of convicted as he was part of the victorious team which write the history.<br/> <br/> Bye<br/>
