Bombing of Kobe in World War II : ウィキペディア英語版
Bombing of Kobe in World War II

The Bombing of Kobe in World War II on March 16 and 17, 1945 was part of the strategic bombing campaign waged by the United States of America against military and civilian targets and population centers during the Japan home islands campaign in the closing stages of World War II. The city would be bombed again in later months.
==Reasons for raids==
Kobe was selected as a target for firebombing raids for a number of reasons. First off, it was the 6th largest city in Japan at the time, with a population of roughly 1 million. The houses were mostly built with wood and thus highly flammable—perfect for starting and sustaining large fires. Second, it was Japan's largest port, home to the largest concentration of shipbuilding and marine-engine manufacturing. Kobe was also an important city for transportation and business. National highways ran through the city, especially through the congested business section, and Kobe contained business facilities for steel, machinery, rubber, railway equipment, and ordnance. Lastly, Kobe's low water supply, consisting of only three reservoirs, and its poor firefighting equipment created a very fire-prone environment.〔21st Bomber Command Tactical Mission Report 43, April 19th, 1945〕
