Other Means Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 The western allies devoted large amounts of recources to them while the Germans, Russians & Japanese did not. This may have been influenced by the channel, obviously. But if the nazis had been able to damage tankograd, or indict the re-inforcement of Moscow by the eastern divisions, would it have made a difference to the outcome?

Other Means Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 well, thats that cleared that up then. as i'm new to these here parts i don't know whether they're a good place to post these sort of hypothetical questions. but i've enjoyed enough of this BB to see that there are a lot of people with a broad knowledge of the conflict who post here and it was something which interested me. why, in a war where mud, snow & vast distance defined the battlefield, were stategic bombers not used? did they know something the western allies overlooked or was it just that we had the appropriate tech?

You don't really need strategic bombers if you're planning to overrun the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Hi "Other Means" - and welcome to the forum. A better place to discuss this might be the General Discussion Forum or the Strategic Command forum I believe. I'm moving this thread to the General forum for now.
