by Ted Nomura "Firestorm"?In 1940, at the height of the Battle of Britain, Hitler declared that his Luftwaffe would return every bombing of the Fatherland by the Royal Air Force tenfold. Unfortunately for the citizens of Germany, by 1943, the Allies would drop more bombs in one raid than the Germans did in the entire war, the worst of all being the firestorm that made its debut in Hamburg. When Germany went into full war footing three years after the British, women were recruited to take over the men's former jobs so the men could go to war. One of the most critical and dangerous jobs that the women (mostly teen-aged girls) inherited was firefighting. Hamburg would be bombed 180 times during the war. The firestorms in Dresden and Tokyo would actually be worse, but the brave firefighters would fight to the death against the greatest aerial holocaust in history. And the worst was yet to come... in 1946. FC, 20pg Cover price $2.50.
