"it makes you wonder who came up with the codenames for the chips: Spitfire, Mustang and Thunder(bolt). These fighters must have participated in the bombing."

I doubt the Spitfire was over Dresden, but that doesn't matter. AMD has said the names refer to classic cars, e.g. Thunderbird not bolt. I think AMD actually wanted use the names of fighter planes but the Dresden employees pointed out the obvious.
