About time someone revisits old tactics, suppose the world has forgotten about Dresden.
About time someone revisits old tactics, suppose the world has forgotten about Japan`s 60 cities flattened.

March 9, 1945 Burning the heart out of the enemy
1945: In the single deadliest air raid of World War II, 330 American B-29s rain incendiary bombs on Tokyo, touching off a firestorm that kills upwards of 100,000 people, burns a quarter of the city to the ground, and leaves a million homeless.
The raid also represented a tactical shift, as the Americans switched from high-altitude precision bombing to low-altitude incendiary raids.
Tokyo was the first of five incendiary raids launched in quick succession against the largest Japanese cities. Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe were also targeted - with Nagoya getting hit twice within a week. By the end of the war, more than 60 Japanese cities had been laid waste by firebombing.
