Oh don’t think I was suggesting the UK came out of WWII unscathed. Far from it. However this article is about residential housing. Yes, there were houses destroyed, especially with V1 launches, but most of the bombing were against industrial targets. As you said, ports and industrial centers. Further, Britain never had foreign troops battling on its land in WWI or WWII, which can’t be said for continental Europe.
My point was that residential housing was specifically targeted tactically with the shifting front lines in continental Europe, where that wasn’t the case in the UK.
