It was mostly German artillery that did that not the luftwaffe

And then people claim that nooks are worse than regular bombing. Looks no better than hiroshima. And if you compare the two cities, hiroshima looks much better now than stalingrad. Makes one think...

The Germans didn’t have the logistical capacity to do so. That’s why they lost at Stalingrad in the first place.

Leningrad was taken by nazis very fast as it planned, so luftwaffe just flyed to do theyr businnes in other places, but red army make some counteroffensives and Leningrad was in half–pocket for 3 years, and thats definetely not was planned scenario for nazis, but planes already used in other operations, and also red army is even no in da city, just around them.

Moscow first of all 2x bigger than Stalingrad. Also Moscow has pretty cool air defence and local NKVD boys mobilised citisens to made camouflage nets for buildings and even just paint some shit, so Moscow from top view and at the bottom was different cities. And main thing is tactical, cause battle was under the Moscow, not inside, and nazis had very big trouble with supplies during that battle.

Stalingrad was minor city of nazis plan to Baku takeover, so luftwaffe and artillerians has a lot of supplies. Red army was in panic after fuckups during summer, so that battle fuck fucked up too by soviets at his start, cause red army was shocked a little bit. And there is a battle inside of Stalingrad itself, not around.

that's retarded. the point of the nuke is that one nuke had the blast power of hundreds of conventional bombs. the deployed nukes were a warning that soon a US bombing run would not destroy an industrial district or a neighbrhood, but the same amount of planes could level a city for good. Plus consequent radiation. In terms of devastation, the previous firebombings on japan's really flammable cities were already devastating.
