Bomber Command, the Eighth Air Force, and the Red Army really did a number on Berlin.
Most were the British Tall Boys with delayed fuses. They were the early bunker busters. One bomb could take out several city blocks.You're right about the bombs. I remember my aunt saying that her entire apartment block was evacuated because a nearby excavation unearthed an unexploded bomb. After it was defused and disposed of, they were allowed back in. This was in the 1990s in Göttingen which had far less allied bombing raids against it.
