Bit of trivia - Dresden was the site of the first Western business to open in East Germany after the Wall fell.
Burger King moved a mobile unit to the train station and setup shop.
Can I verify that? Probably not. But stationed in Berlin at the time I remember the news like it was yesterday :)
Yes, we bombed the heck out of Germany, but at least in the Western part, we helped to rebuild.
In the DDR, you could still see bombed out buildings everywhere years after the war.
