GERMANY
Some German person I got talking to in the street today told me that our market place in the centre of town is bigger than it should be because the row of houses that used to be there was completely destroyed by a British bombing campaign in 1944. Hundreds died, apparently.
I spent the next 10 minutes trying not to sound British.
I'm also still trying to work out the tactical advantages of bombing Neuerburg, short of deforestation and disrupting cows.
