Re: Stategic Bombing
This is an interesting analysis, but there was another, unintended, effect. While what happened to German cities in the bombing is certainly regrettable, IMO it did help to convince citizens of the Reich that they had been completely and thoroughly beaten. Perhaps my feeling is not "politically correct" but only near total destruction of much of Germany and her armed forces was going to force the necessary "attitude adjustment" on the collective psyche. Otherwise, the Allies risked the rise of another ultra-nationalist government and World War III.
