[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist: [QB] So was it not as bad for the America AND Britain to bomb German cities? Do you realize that the USAAF of WW2 lost more men in four years over Europe than ALL US forces lost in Vietnam? The reason for the bombings of cities in WW2 was to stop PRODUCTION of war material. Without the civilian turning out tanks, planes, and munitions the enemy will lose its fighting ability. Allied forces were looking at shifting a massive amount of men from one theatre of operations to another half way around the world to fight yet another enemy. Morale would have been in the toilet not to mention the logistic nightmare. There were elements at the top of the Japanese heirarchy that would have willingly fought to the death...for themselves and their entire nation. Had it been America facing such a threat, or Britain for that matter, would we have reacted any different? You will never find me belittling the efforts of Brits, Aussies, Canucks, or anyone. If you want to see where WW2 was at its worst and who endured the worst of it, read about RUSSIA. Leningrad, Kursk (the largest tank battle of WW2) The Russians suffered far more than either Britain and America. But when do we see THEIR stories? [/QB][/QUOTE]
