| The A-bomb was developed specifically to hit Germany, but they folded before it was ready so Japan got hit instead. Don't kid yourselves--if they'd been ready sooner, we'd be talking about Schweinfurt, not Hiroshima! |

| yep and since that is true, it undermines the fact that some people believe that the A-bomb was racist. if you ever hear that, then tell the person that it isnt, because it was intended to be used on white people | |

| And as I've said before also, the B-29 would be better suited for the purpose

| I do not think it would be necessary to drop any atomic weapons on Germany as the ground forces from both sides made it all the way to Berlin and all the German airforce bases would have been over run by the troops on their way to Berlin. Where would the Germans base their fighters ? If the ground fire was enough to bring down 3 Arados on their bombing missions what chance would the other airplanes have . The US Army had 90 mm antiaircraft gun mounts and their fire was radar controlled. Both sides armies also did a darn good job bringing down fighter aircraft. | |

Country: | The British Meteor did fly, but that doesn't mean it was good. The Allies took many Germans advances, the Rocket for example, the Americans had Rockets on the drawing boards but they were poor, they flew but no where near as far, as high or as accurate as the German V-2. American rocket flew, why did they take the German one? BECAUSE IT WAS BETTER!
Hitler was a confused person, his out look on things changed a lot, he like technology to a point. They had the V-2 in development in 1940, and Hitler ordered its cancellation because he thought that because they didn't need it to take Europe they wouldn't need it at all 'a needless luxury'. Von Braun carried on with it anyway, and by 1945 had the worlds first Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile on the drawing boards, capable of hitting New York, Oh America, how lucky you were.
