Dresden, a city in Germany, was attacked by British and American aircraft on the day of a fair. This meant that the city was full of people out in the open, and many were killed as the bombs created a huge firestorm effect, and other planes flew low over the ground, shooting those fleeing for shelter. Much of the city was left in ruins.
