Just taste of the hellfire that people must have experienced who were on the receiving end of a WWII bombing run. Imagine hundreds of these all around you and never knowing where the next one will fall.

Then imagine it happening again tomorrow.

I fear that given the type of warfare we're capable of waging today, that’ll be remembered as the good ole’ days.

Look, my dad FLEW B-17’s on those raids.

Don’t forget those Nazi bastards A.) shot back, and B.) started the whole bombing thing at Warsaw, Rotterdam, and London. They sowed the wind and harvested the whirlwind.

The Krauts had it coming. Consider it karma.

Or as Curtis LeMay once observed...”they forgot to put a roof on fortress Europe.

The Germans probably figured the bombings were just savages trying to destroy their utopia, but I say the WW2 bombings and this delayed one were Karma Police. As you sow so shall you reap.

Last thing anyone should ever feel sorry for would be Germans and Japanese, who wholeheartedly supported their regimes even if they didn’t know all the specifics.

I was at the site of this explosion in 1968.
