    Talk about the severity and effectiveness is online in nearly all cases is effectively carrying water for Nazis

    the assessment the allies made of their own air campaign after the war determined strategic bombing was ineffective at destroying specific targets.

      Funny, both reports of Western allies, Nazi commanders and Soviet reports do conclude that the bombings of Dresden did cut off the communications, which weakend the Eastern front.

      Why do you try to pick single ingredients instead of the full view of the reports? This is stuff I expect from liberal spaces.

        proportion of munitions that hit the target =/= whether that target is eventually destroyed.

        the first is all i’ve been talking about. the postwar assessments of strategic bombing are critical of that, not in denial of the fact legitimate targets were ever destroyed.
