WWII Strategic Bombing

Why? They did that in WW2 remember.

In WW2 it was clear when the bombing stopped

Interesting how they continued manufacturing these during ww2

It worked pretty well for us in WWII.

From WW2? Probably quite a few.

What an interesting read. Also, is it just me or are there a surprising number of german related topics on the frontpage right now?"We only had one man working on it and they may have had ten thousand"This is why I always chuckle at the ww2 "documentaries" positing the possibility of german or japanese bomb. Nevermind that both parties were preoccupied fighting far stronger and larger opponents ( US, British Empire, Soviet Union, China ), they lacked the resources, econ

During the Second World War, the English air force was in a bad situation because the Germans were too effective in destroying military factories and defending their own. Churchill then decided to bomb German cities. The Germans did the same in London, which allowed the British to rebuild their aviation. That is what my history teacher, who was a student at the time of these events, told me.

Wondering if it was used for wartime production, for protection from bombings.German aircraft production increased each month right up until substantial homeland territory was lost, apparently unaffected by massive bombing. Given its military futility, most of the bombing should probably be considered war crime. Air crews' lives were squandered.

This in fact has happened in real life : e.g. in WWII proximity fuse antiaircraft shells were not used in the European theater for fear unexploded examples would be reverse engineered by the enemy. They were used in the Pacific where it was reasoned they would fall into the ocean where they would be unlikely to reach enemy hands.
