Meanwhile both ordinary Bulgarians and some Bulgarian Orthodox clerics were so vehemently opposed to rounding up Jews that they stood up against their fascist government and prevented the deportation into deathcamps of Bulgarian Jews. I'm Jewish and I find that part of our history extremely uplifting and I'm ashamed that it's only brought up to butter the Bulgarian government up when Israel wants something from them. Nobody even knew about the extent of the horrors that awaited Bulgarian Jews, but they were still completely unwilling to stand by while their neighbors were being shipped of to "work" in Germany. 

And then the Allies carpet bombed Sofia and many other towns at a time when Bulgaria was already in talks about surrendering. 400 American planes rained death on Sofia's civilian population and historical center. And that considering the Bulgarian army hadn't killed a single American or British soldier.
