BTW, no lives would have been saved in Europe due to the use of the atom bomb. After all, we did not yet have one.

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.
