>rebuilt but the soul of the cathedral is already lost.
why?

The allies purposely didn’t target the cologne cathedral

There was no such thing as targeted bombing in WWII.

Germans are all godless thanks to martin luther

Yes there was, there was no such thing as EFFECTIVE targeted bombing in WWII

For example, in Dresden we made efforts to only hit military targets and you purposely bombed civilians (which was actually based and redpilled)

What about WW1

This, the protestants had it coming.

>Cologne
>Protestant

Cologne is Catholic

there are actual statistical papers about the distribution of bombings and it has been shown that there wasn't targeted bombing. I didn't read them myself but you can refer to the book 'Nudge'. It's referenced as a prime example of people looking for (and finding) patterns where there actually aren't none.

>>rebuilt but the soul of the cathedral is already lost.
not really

I'm aware Americans are a very noble people but the end result is the same. At best you could hope to hit a specific part of a city; more likely just "somewhere" in the city. Even then it was a coin flip.
I don't know too much about the equivalent in the Great War. I think the only country that had a serious aerial bombing campaign was Germany with their air zeppelins. It's hard to imagine they were terribly accurate.

that's a myth though
the cathedral has a very sturdy iron inner skeleton combine this with very high gothic windows, gates and pillars made it withstand shockwaves

because of this people took refuge in the cathedral during bombing raids and quickly put out any fires that spread to the building

>I'm aware Americans are a very noble people but
I like this kind of humoUr

Sow the wind reap the whirlwind

The German are disgusting, subhuman creatures of the dark.

YEAH FUGGIN KILLEM

>YOU CAN'T BOMB CIVILIANS ONLY WE CAN DO THAT NOOOOO

don't use arty spotters from the towers next time

How are old European buildings maintained anyways? Are there people who dedicate their lives to learning old building techniques like in Japan?

Yes, they literally cycle through restoring and renovating different parts of buildings financed by charities, foundations and public support and some masons work there fheir entire life.

Anglos and Americans are soulless nigger spawn of Satan

As i have heard one bomber veteran stated that there was a order not to bomb it because it was useful for navigation during foggy mornings.

They're building a castle in France entirely from scratch using only methods and tools available in medieval times. Students are sent there to learn so they can take that knowledge to restoration work.

How about yourself?

We're all one happy Germanic blend.

>Cologne Cathedral gets bombed directly 14 times
dumb fuck right here

>the only motivation they had not to bomb a cathedral was that it could help them see better
wall*hi anglos are a menace upon the face of the earth

Average turk was probably cheering on the fire.

The Italian campaign was a mistake for a variety of reasons. RIP monte cassino.

fuck t*Rks

Ah, I didn't realize you were greek. My mistake.
