By all definitions, including papers written by both, RAF Bomber Command and the USAAF at the time, deliberate bombing of enemy cities and civilians was a) a crime and b) didn't produce a meaningful effect on enemy moral or warfighting capabilities.
- thehappypm 3y agoAre you arguing hiroshima and nagasaki did not impact the Japanese warfighting capabilities?
- hef19898 3y agoYes, strategic bombing had no meaningful impact, not on Germany nor on Japan. Or Britain. By the time the nukes dropped, Japan had already lost everything they needed to continue fighting: ships, raw materials, supply lines, trained soldiers. Same for Germany, except the nukes.
