    “Can you remember any white people we’ve ever bombed? The Germans! Those are the only ones. And that’s only because they were trying to cut in on our action. They wanted to dominate the world. Bullshit, that’s our fuckin’ job!” -George Carlin

      Many other Europeans died as a result of Allied bombing in WW2. They were invaded by the Germans and made to work for the war effort. WW2 was terrible for everyone in Europe. And these bombs weren’t accurate so just being in the next town from a big factory would be risky.

      France, Germany, and Italy were essentially developing nations after the war. Other smaller countries were worse. The only untouched places were like northern Norway. This is what authoritarian nations do. They destroy everything around them, including themselves.

        Northern Norway, 1940:

        I see your point, though. Much of Norway was left untouched. Physically, anyway.
