What happened in Bonn in World War Two?

BONN ESCAPED SERIOUS DESTRUCTION FROM ALLIED BOMBING AS WELL AS FROM GROUND FIGHTING-IT WAS A SMALL CITY WITH LITTLE INDUSTRY OR MILITARY IMPORTANCE-THAT WAS MAIN REASON THE POST-WAR GOVERNMENT DECIDED ON BONN AS ITS CAPITAL-NOT BERLIN OR MUNICH! MANY PEOPLE WERE ASTONISHED THAT THE LEADERS OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC WOULD CHOSE BONN INSTEAD OF A LARGER AND MORE INFLUENTIAL CITY. LESS THAN HALF THE CITY WAS DESTROYED OR DAMAGED.
