What Really Happened in Hamburg’s WWII Firestorm?

For 11 days in 1943 the city Hamburg was bombed relentlessly by the RAF and the US Army Air Force. Fire spread across the city until eventually a firestorm was created, the centre of which is thought to have reached 800°C. 34,000+ people were killed, 900,000 were made homeless. It was the first destruction of a major German city, and a sign of things to come. ++++++ Since I was travelling up to Hamburg I thought I’d do a guest video from my second favourite German city. Hamburg today is a wonderful place, and somewhere I wholeheartedly recommend visiting. It’s different to Berlin. A little cleaner, the people a good deal more cheerful. I admire the place, even if Berlin is home for me. More Berlin history for you coming up next week! ++++++ Want more Berlin history?
