A fleet of British heavy bombers had dropped thousands of incendiaries over the city, turning it into a hearth of unprecedented dimensions. Numerous major fires merged together into a single storm of fire. Structures combusted under the immense heat, as strong winds drove the inferno through the streets at rapid speed. Craving for more oxygen, the firestorm sucked human bodies into the flames and immediately incinerated or mummified them. Thousands of others died slowly of carbon monoxide poisoning in their shelters. By the end of the raid, 60% of Hamburg had been burned out and more than 35,000 of its inhabitants were dead. But while the Germans were shocked to disbelief, for the British the firestorm has worked as intended. And this was just the beginning. <\/p>\n<p>Support Sabaton History on Patreon:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/sabatonhistory\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/sabatonhistory<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Listen to &#8220;Firestorm&#8221; on the album <em>The Art of War<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/music.sabaton.net\/TheArtOfWar\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/music.sabaton.net\/TheArtOfWar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Listen to Sabaton on Spotify: <a href=\"http:\/\/smarturl.it\/SabatonSpotify\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/smarturl.it\/SabatonSpotify<\/a><br \/>\nOfficial Sabaton Merchandise Shop: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/SabatonOfficialShop\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/SabatonOfficialShop<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Hosted by: Indy Neidell<br \/>\nWritten by: Markus Linke and Indy Neidell<br \/>\nDirected by: Astrid Deinhard and Wieke Kapteijns<br \/>\nProduced by: P\u00e4r Sundstr\u00f6m, Astrid Deinhard and Spartacus Olsson<br \/>\nCreative Producer: Maria Kyhle<br \/>\nExecutive Producers: P\u00e4r Sundstr\u00f6m, Joakim Brod\u00e9n, Tomas Sunmo, Indy Neidell, Astrid Deinhard, and Spartacus Olsson<br \/>\nCommunity Manager: Maria Kyhle<br \/>\nPost-Production Director: Wieke Kapteijns<br \/>\nEditor: Karolina Do\u0142\u0119ga<br \/>\nSound Editor: Marek Kami\u0144ski<br \/>\nMaps by: Eastory &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/eastory\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/eastory<\/a><br \/>\nArchive: Reuters\/Screenocean &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.screenocean.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.screenocean.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Colorized by:<br \/>\nNorman Stewart &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/oldtimesincolor.blogspot.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/oldtimesincolor.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sources:<br \/>\nImperial War Museums: C3677,HU 63075, HU 63089, MH 27517, CL3400, MH 24747,CL3395, MH 24764, CH 6386, CH 6386, CH 6275, CH 15879, C 3371, CH 18371, C 3918, C2367, HU44269, C 4748, PST 14359, C 4973,<br \/>\nBundesarchiv<br \/>\nNational Archives NARA<br \/>\nIcons from the Noun Project: Arrow by 4B Icons, Bomb by P Thanga Vignesh, fire building by dDara, Skull by Muhamad Ulum <\/p>\n<p>All music by: Sabaton<\/p>\n<p>An OnLion Entertainment GmbH and Raging Beaver Publishing AB co-Production.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Raging Beaver Publishing AB, 2019 &#8211; all rights reserved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot_2020-12-18-\u201cFirestorm\u201d-\u2013-Strategic-or-Terror-Bombing-\u2013-Sabaton-History-098-Official.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot_2020-12-18-\u201cFirestorm\u201d-\u2013-Strategic-or-Terror-Bombing-\u2013-Sabaton-History-098-Official-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-62119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot_2020-12-18-\u201cFirestorm\u201d-\u2013-Strategic-or-Terror-Bombing-\u2013-Sabaton-History-098-Official-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot_2020-12-18-\u201cFirestorm\u201d-\u2013-Strategic-or-Terror-Bombing-\u2013-Sabaton-History-098-Official-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot_2020-12-18-\u201cFirestorm\u201d-\u2013-Strategic-or-Terror-Bombing-\u2013-Sabaton-History-098-Official-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot_2020-12-18-\u201cFirestorm\u201d-\u2013-Strategic-or-Terror-Bombing-\u2013-Sabaton-History-098-Official.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabaton History Published 17 Dec 2020 At the end of July 1943, Hamburg burned.
