Prague is a really good example of a major European city that was relatively untouched in the war. And it shows. Lots and LOTS of historical buildings and a very "old European" feel through a lot of the city.

It's quite beautiful.

Imagine earnestly believing Hitler did the whole London bombing thing, which utterly crippled the Luftwaffe and seriously hurt how useful they were in the rest of the war, out of military necessity.

Also the bombing of Dresden being out of the ordinary for the war is Russian fiction. Stalin begged for Dresden to be bombed, we have the letters to the Americans to back that up.

Same thing with York in England, narrow medieval streets and buildings. Vs Plymouth wide large buildings since it was completely rebuilt.
