According to Hart, Harris did it at the request of Stalin. Most films showing bombing of Germany show American bombers because the British bombed at night and cameras didn't pick it up. The bombing of Hamburg killed >40,000 and left a million homeless. The fire could be seen 120 miles away (Why the Allies Won, by Richard Overy, 1995).
