Most civilian Germans we killed were killed because we didn’t have the types of precision weapons available to destroy the factories and other sinew of Hitler’s war machine. I don’t know of any historian today who believes that the air war against German civilians hastened the wars end. Hitler’s air war against England didn’t terrorize or stop the Brits. The Allied air war targeting German civilians did not win the war. The Allies and the Soviets ground down Hitler’s army and killed his soldiers. That’s how we won.
That is absurd. We won the air war in Europe and domination of the air has been the strategy ever since, carpet bombing. Precision bombing is important but total war is how peace is achieved.
