From the war, old man, from the war, only !

The Brits and the Yanks (Headquater officers, of course) decided to destroy
Le Havre with a big carpet bombing.

The german commander of Festung Le Havre asked an evacuation of civilians and
allieds refused.

We know the résult : 2500 civilians died and 30000 people without a roof
above the head, 10 years to rebuild the city... etc.

Don't worry, Peter, the war is over and, I hope, for a very long time.
