“Dropping bombs didn´t help in Germany or Japan ..” remember Hiroshima?

It is indeed funny to me that still some people in the US are thinking the bombing in WWII was the reason why Germany lost the war. It was rather the Red army on the eastern front than America and its millitary that fought down nazi Germany. America played a role but the heavy lifting was done by the Russians. I am well aware that it is not political correct to say this here, but it is the plain truth.

BTW the bombing rather boosted the resistance among the German people. The demoralization America and the UK hoped for never happened.
