"Orval Fairbairn" wrote in message news ![]() Actually, it was even MORE fortunate for Germany that the war didn't last longer -- there was the matter of "Little Boy" and "Fat Man," who probably would have visited Berlin or Hamburg, instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I doubt that. The Germans did not put up a stiff resistance like the Japanese did. The Germans did not come up with suicide planes, They did, but not in reasonable numbers. Maybe for most occasions the purpose was not suicide but the result was the same. And far less effective. Bachem Natter and the Rammjaeger to be mentioned. and never fought to the last man, like they did in Iwo Jima. Oh, they sometimes did, in some occasions due to sheer abducted motovation, sometime due to sheer chancelessness of retreat. Germany fought 'our' type of war. No. The US paid their toll, but their way to fight compared to any other in all theatres of operations was most of the time rahter a good massive gangbang. They could effort it. I was taught the sole reason for the A-bombs to hit Japan was the believe that the US would have to fight every man woman and child in every Japanese street, at unbelievable cost in human lives for the US armed forces. The toy was there, no question, it had to be played with. It hit Japan, because their culture and their outer appearance was not as far as close to the US than the far more related german. Even the racism... It was the 40ies then. |
