Prague is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and is among the most visited cities on the continent. On February 14,1945 Prague was bombed by U.S. Forces, 152 tons of bombs were dropped. All the causalities were civilians, no factories were damaged. Later on the U.S voiced their regrets, explaining it was a mistake, the real target was Dresden 80 miles to the north. Was papa Bush flying that day? |
