I am writing from a long time memory. May someone can research and check this out, along with my other posts. I have little time, but will keep adding more info about Chicago and my WW II fires. I remember scenes from traveling through cities in Germany. I also remember air raid sirens and hurrying into and out two of three different bomb shelters. One was a wine cellar in the side of a hill and a man came running toward it during day time. While he waited for someone to open its heavy, that man kept looking at the sky. Probably to make sure when to make a final run to that cellar door.
Another times, my mother and I ran past a burning residence. Several stories high? during night. It had a phosphorous in its attic. I think it had not yet "gone off." Fires from those bombs could not be extinguished with water. It would make fire spread.
