3. This all B-17's and B-24's kill more people in Hamburg, Norymberga and
others Germany cities


Don't forget the RAF Lancasters and Mosquitoes, which put on the night
firebombing raids, the which did more damage to German cities.


Cite concerning Mosquitos firebombing, please. Placing the Mosquito among the
four area bombers mentioned (five, counting the Enola Gay herself) is the same
as including a scalpel among a box of cleavers. They didn't bomb cities, they
attacked addresses. I do place a distinction between weapons designed or
employed to "dehouse" or, more bluntly, depopulate an area from the rare
aircraft with the Mosquitos ability to strike the exact spot of the enemy
infection.
