It's always worth a reminder that almost all large German cities (with exceptions like Wiesbaden, because post-war the Americans wanted to erect their headquarters there) were almost completely destroyed. Most smaller towns were spared, and Dresden wasn't the only city to suffer a horrible fate. Years ago in the Guardian there was an extract from or a review of a book by WG Sebald which touched on the bombing of Hamburg, which is one of the most horrific things I've ever read and have no wish to read again. Search for it at your own risk.
