I was just reminded by it by randomly scrolling through some wiki article about some random city where it said that “we basically know nothing about this town before 1700 other than some other document that mentions it was founded in 1100 something”, that's already like 600 years of history lost. So how much information was lost through British terror bombing, and then the allied book burnings? I would say that it was the greatest catastrophy for the west, because Germany was the bastion of conservativism in Europe and utterly rejected the abortion of french revolutionary thought.
Certainly the intellectual basis still exists, I assume there is still enough literature, the problem is just it gets no reception and you need to learn Latin to access most of it.
