Ah! Chemnitz. I first knew this city as KarlMarx Stadt. Herr Aller lived there, a schoolteacher who told me about the destruction of the city by Anglo-American bombing when he was only 8 years of age in March 1945. A piece of mortar flew off the apartment wall where he was staying with his grandmother and hit him on the head, knocking him out. He pointed to the scar and stared at me, saying, "A sick mind did this." The city had been leveled.
