Dresden.. the city that was fire bombed to ashes during WW2
Indeed. While Kurt Vonnegut was there as a US POW.
I visited Dresden in 1999, while restoration of the Frauenkirche was underway. Collected bits of rubble had been collected a cataloged ( quite a remarkable collection!) for the rebuild.
Reading now that the church on this stamp was not rebuilt allegedly because "…a socialist city does not need gothic churches".
I stopped there for a day while traveling, drawn mostly out of an interest in Vonnegut and JS Bach...
