The Old Town of Dresden was almost completely destroyed during Allied air raids from 12-15 February 1945. The cultural monuments of the city center also fell into rubble. At the end of the war in May 1945, one third of all dwellings in Dresden had been destroyed. According to the latest historical research, up to 25,000 people died in the air raids.
