I think war can be a good thing for nations.
During times of great privation people can honestly take a good hard look at themselves and no longer trick themselves about the state of their lives.
Who knows..during their final moments the sinners of Hamburg (whoever they may have been) might asked Jesus for forgiveness for their sins in the last few seconds before the flames came for them.
Such a thing happened to a famous nazi leader, Hans Frank. Before He was hanged for his crimes..he confessed his sins. He probably is at least in purgatory by now:

Just shows even the worst people can turn their souls around
