Aargh. Beg your pardon (_ _)

... I lost relatives ... My wifes lost relatives too. ...

I'm not that old. We both lost grand grand parents in the bombing of Dresden. (Grand parents is an other problem)

Dresden shows the marks very visible. The area destroyed is was build up in a complete different style. One can draw the lines. This lead to the point the the quarter called New Town is remarkably older then the Old Town ...
The church near my flat is still with a steeple repaired quick'n'dirty, roof just fixed and one aisle gone. (The parish is not that large anyway)
The parish of friends lost there big church (just google zionskirche dresden for the left over) This is left as it is and is used by the city to store statues (a Lapidarium).
And then we have enough shells in the ground then can explode every moment - explosives start to became unstable now. The schoool of two of the girls had one big shell close to the foundation walls. Half of the Old Town needs to be evacuated half a day to disarm it

As ugly as it is, it seems not enough for a lot of people. Can you imagine the idios are still around? What a shame :(
