Aleppo in Syria was the most ferocious battlefield. 

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, government force started a death battle against Syria rebel armies in July, 2012. 

The brutal tragedy had been going up to December last year when rebel armies retreated. 

Aleppo was the important strategic position which was taken by rebel armies. 

So, government force kept attacking hard to take it back. 

As a result, Aleppo became ashes which was the most commercial city and had more than 2 million Syrian. 

The children fell beneath the crashed debris and died due to the brutal attack of the government force. 

Last August, a picture of five-year-old Omran Daqneesh who was rescued from a rubble due to the air attack of the government force brought big issue in the world reporting tragedy of Syria.

80% of Dresden was destroyed for 4 days from 1945, February 13 due to allied forces 'air bombing'. Official dead was 25,000. After that, with designated will and efforts, Dresden was rebuilt as a center of industries as if the old East Germany. Now this city stands for peace and unification. Dresden became a major industrial center in Europe. Dresden is also financially independent along with Wolfsburg among cities in Germany.
