Someone wrote , that on fifth of all buildings were destroyed by bombing. German cities were 60 to 80 % destroyed. That one fitfth figure needs to be checked.
- My source is Eckart D. Stratenschulte, Kleine Geschichte Berlins (München 2000), p. 72. A quick search on Google gave me [this page] that speaks about the same figures. Maybe it's good to mention in the article that in the inner city 50% of the houses was damaged. (I see I have made a mistake: the book speaks about zerstört (damaged), not destroyed). --Tsja
Tsja, while you changed the figures, I was adding a lot of info on Berlin. It is gone, Editing conflict. Is there a way that my changes (not saved by me) have been saved somewhere else ?

- I'm afraid it's lost now, but maybe it's still in the cache of your browser. Next time, when you see a screen about an editing conflict, you can copy your additions from one of the screens.
- When I'm writing large pieces, most of the times I copy the original to a text editor and start editing. Then I copy it to the browser. In case of an editing conflict or a crash of the browser, I still have my piece in the editor. --Tsja
Tsja , thanks for the tip. I started looking at that stuff but got dizzy after awhile. I will just get back to it some other time.

I've changed
- Until 1918 members of the Hohenzollern-family would reign Berlin successively as Margrave of Brandenburg, Duke of Pomerania, Duke of Prussia, Duke of Brandenburg-Prussia and of many other areas, King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany.
back to
- Until 1918 members of the Hohenzollern-family would reign Berlin successively as Margrave of Brandenburg, King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany.
because the sentence means to tell in which title the Hohenzollern reigned Berlin, not which titles the Hohenzollern held. -- Tsja
To
Tsja That seems logical, except that several parts of Pomerania went back and force between Brandenburg and Pomerania ( Uckermark for example). Therefore it should also mention the reign over Pomerania and Cassubia Kashubia (earlier under the Ascanians, since 1472 under Hohenzollern) and ,Pom(m)erellia (later part of West-Prussia)etc.Berlin was the capital of brandenburg. Only since 1920 was Berlin a seperat city-state. And Berlin was the capital of the Deutsche Reich since 1871. Perhaps you want to tie into the Pomerania part seperat ? I just mentioned it very briefly , together with the other Hohenzollern titles , maybe add (also of Pomerania)?.

I think this would better fit in articles about the Hohenzollern or Brandenburg. In the article there are links to those subjects. In a history of a city there has to be only those details of the history of the country that directly affects that city. -- Tsja
