We stopped off in Coventry on the way somewhere. "What happened here?" they asked, looking at the ruins of the old cathedral. "Dresden" my mother replied.<br /> "Ahhhh so" </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3195#post-9216 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 08:55:32 +0000 Hunter F.

She committed Germany's full resources to the effort, even though it might take far longer now they have rather fewer planes than in WW2. </p>
