The Nazis devasted Warsaw in September 1939 and Rotterdam in May 1940 before Britain starting bombing German cities.
The major Allied power that fell to the Germans during World War II was France. In May and June of 1940, Germany launched a rapid invasion, leading to the fall of Paris and the subsequent armistice on June 22, 1940. This defeat marked a significant shift in the balance of power in Europe, as Germany occupied much of France and established the Vichy regime.

What Hitler called off (in September 1940) was the planned German invasion of Britain. He did this because the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) had been unable to achieve supremacy in the skies above southern England. Heavy bombing of civilian targets in Britain was a feature of the period September 1940-January 1941. There were further heavy raids in May 1941 - after which much of the Luftwaffe was moved eastwards for use against the Soviet Union. Later in WW2 there were further raids on Britain and in 1944 the V1s and V2s. The fact that Britain continued to fight in 1940-41 meant that the war against Germany continued. IF Britain had fallen it's very hard to see how there could have been a D-Day or any Allied victory in Western Europe. Joncey
Far far greater than that inflicted on UK in 1940. Berlin Hamburg Dresden & Cologne, among other targets were particularly badly affected. The effect of both German fighter & anti aircraft artillery defence was much reduced by 1945. Having said that the Allied air foces took great losses in the air attacks.

The Blitz
The first air raids on Germany took place in 1940. However, the heavy Allied air-raids on Germany started in April 1942 and continued till 1945.
On September 5, 1940, the Germans began bombing London, reportedly in retaliation for a British raid on Berlin. Bad weather, however, hampered their efforts and it was not until September 15, that the massive bombing attacks began.
