Question: The Zionskirche was damaged during what British/American attack during World War II?
Context: The USS "Franklin" (CV/CVA/CVS-13, AVT-8), nicknamed "Big Ben," was one of 24 "Essex"-class aircraft carrier s built during World War II for the United States Navy, and the fifth US Navy ship to bear the name.  Commissioned in January 1944, she served in several campaigns in the Pacific War, earning four battle stars.  She was badly damaged by a Japanese air attack in March 1945, with the loss of over 800 of her crew, becoming the most heavily damaged United States carrier to survive the war.  Movie footage of the actual attack was included in the 1949 film "Task Force" starring Gary Cooper. The Vultee V-11 and V-12 were American attack aircraft of the 1930s.  Developed from the Vultee V-1 single-engined airliner, the V-11 and V-12 were purchased by several nation's armed forces, including China, who used them in combat against Japanese forces in the Second Sino-Japanese War.  The United States Army Air Corps purchased seven V-11s as the YA-19 in the years before World War II, testing them to gather data to compare against twin engine light attack planes. The bombing of Dresden was a British/American aerial bombing attack on the city of Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony, that took place during the Second World War in the European Theatre.  In four raids between 13 and 15 February 1945, 722 heavy bombers of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and 527 of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city.  The bombing and the resulting firestorm destroyed over 1600 acre of the city centre.  An estimated 22,700 to 25,000 people were killed, although inflated casualty figures have been claimed over the years.  Three more USAAF air raids followed, two occurring on 2 March aimed at the city's railroad marshaling yard and one small raid on 17 April aimed at industrial areas. The Douglas A-20 Havoc was an American attack/light bomber/night fighter aircraft of World War II. The Douglas A-20 Havoc (company designation DB-7) was an American attack, light bomber, and intruder aircraft of World War II.  It served with several Allied air forces, principally the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), the Soviet Air Forces ("VVS"), Soviet Naval Aviation ("AVMF"), and the Royal Air Force (RAF) of the United Kingdom.  Soviet units received more than one in three (2,908 aircraft) of the DB-7s ultimately built.  It was also used by the air forces of Australia, South Africa, France, and the Netherlands during the war, and by Brazil afterwards. HMS "Nabob" (D77) was a "Bogue"-class escort aircraft carrier which served in the Royal Navy during 1943 and 1944.  The ship was built in the United States as USS "Edisto" (CVE-41) (originally AVG-41 then later ACV-41) but did not serve with the United States Navy.  In August 1944 the ship was torpedoed by the  while participating in an attack on the  .  "Nabob" survived the attack, but upon returning to port, was considered too damaged to repair.  The escort carrier remained in port for the rest of the war and was returned to the United States following it.  "Nabob" is one of three Royal Navy escort carriers built in the United States which is listed as lost in action (2 sunk and 2 heavily damaged and never repaired) during World War II. The McDonnell Douglas/General Dynamics A-12 Avenger II was a proposed American attack aircraft from McDonnell Douglas and General Dynamics.  It was to be an all-weather, carrier-based stealth bomber replacement for the Grumman A-6 Intruder in the United States Navy and Marine Corps.  Its "Avenger II" name was taken from the Grumman TBF Avenger of World War II. The Attack on Convoy BN 7 was a naval engagement during World War II between an allied force defending a convoy of merchant ships and an attacking force of Italian destroyers.  The Italian attack failed, with only one merchant ship being slightly damaged.  The destroyer HMS "Kimberley" sank the Italian destroyer "Francesco Nullo".  "Kimberley" was then hit and disabled by Italian shore batteries at Harmil Island and towed to safety by the cruiser  .  The Italian ships had carried out their plan but lost one destroyer for no result and the British escorts were criticised later for a lack of aggression, despite the danger in leaving the convoy to chase ships at night in misty weather.  The Italians made another fruitless sortie on 3 December, cancelled one in January 1941 after "Manin" was damaged by a bomb and on 24 January they sortied again with no result. USS "Enterprise" (CV-6), was the seventh U.S. Navy vessel to bear the name.  Colloquially called "the Big E", she was the sixth aircraft carrier of the United States Navy.  A "Yorktown"-class carrier, she was launched in 1936 and was one of only three American carriers commissioned before World War II to survive the war (the others being "Saratoga" and "Ranger" ).  She participated in more major actions of the war against Japan than any other United States ship.  These actions included the Attack on Pearl Harbor (18 dive bombers of VS-6 were over the harbor, 6 were shot down with a loss of eleven men, making her the only American Aircraft carrier with men at Pearl Harbor during the Attack and the first to receive casualties during the Pacific War), the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, various other air-sea engagements during the Guadalcanal Campaign, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.  "Enterprise" earned 20 battle stars, the most for any U.S. warship in World War II, and was the most decorated U.S. ship of World War II, She is also the first American ship to sink an enemy vessel during the Pacific War, the sole surviving pilot of the six planes shot down over Pearl Harbor sank Japanese submarine I-70 on 10 December 1941.  On three occasions during the Pacific War, the Japanese announced that she had been sunk in battle, resulting in her being named "The Grey Ghost". The Zionskirche is the name given to two Evangelical Lutheran church buildings in the Südvorstadt district of Dresden.  The first, the "Alte Zionskirche" or "Old Zion's Church" was built by Schilling & Graebner from 1908 to 1912.  This building was hit and badly damaged by fire during the bombing in February 1945.  A temporary roof was later added and it is now preserved as a ruin, housing a lapidarium with 3000 sculptures.  The parish, meanwhile, was housed in a barracks next to the ruins until the first stone of a new building (the "Neue Zionskirche") was laid on Bayreuther Straße on 5 June 1981, as a gift from the Church of Sweden.  With its construction overseen by Eberhard Burger, the new building was inaugurated on 31 October 1982.
