On the other hand, we can see in retrospect that the entire European campaign, from the time of the first invasion at Oran, to the Battle of the Bulge, was absolutely unnecessary just as long as we had a bomber platform in Iceland.
The Third Reich could have been rolled up in a couple of weeks if we'd just waited until September 1945.
I know which is why I wrote IF we had the bomb a year earlier.
Ain't hindsight wunnerful?
