The RAF dropped 2,659.3 tons on the city and the USAAF dropped 782 and then 465.6 tons on the marshalling yards, as the chart shows.

That total for the 13th-15 of February is 3,906.9 tons dropped. That’s where the 3900 ton figure comes from in the part you picked to copy and paste.

All US airstrikes were on the marshalling yards and industrial areas.

We are never going to agree on this, but have a good day and a great life.
