From the BBC:
“At this moment something snapped in a neighbour and, caught up in a panic, he took his bed cover and wanted out.
“None of us could stop him. We saw him still, but only as a living torch carried by the firestorm, ‘flying through the air’.”
She said: “We came out... into a thundering, blazing hell. The streets were burning, the trees were burning and the tops of them were bent [by the wind] right down to the street.
“Burning horses out of the Hertz hauling business ran past us. The air was burning; simply everything was burning.”

Thank you for posting that. I hope we never see such a horrible war again. I know the Japanese & the Germans were the aggressors, but I can also shudder at what their people went through.
