There's some confusion here! No Spanish city has everbeen bombed by the Russians (or the Soviet Union). In the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) the Germans and Italians bombed the Basque town of Guernica. Casualties were high, and at the time the deliberate bombing of civilians was regarded as very shocking indeed.

∙ 15y agoThe damage caused by the aerial offensive by Britain & the US in WW2 reduced large areas of all German cities to rubble. Caen was similarly destroyed. Much of Poland was ravaged by war, Ukraine too. The damage caused to British cities such as London, Coventry & Plymouth pales into insignificance (though not to those bombed)when compared to German cities destroyed, notably Hamburg, Cologne & Dresden.
