Could all be just "hot" air, but...A question none the less...
When speaking of better targets, weren't the Hydro-Electric dams in Germany (and nearby) the main source of power for many factories and cities alike?
I've heard that these were either owned (partly or in full) by foriegn investors? Who put pressure on to avoid their loss?
I've also heard that these figured prominently in the plans to re-build Europe, and were not to be demolished. Damaged maybe, but not destroyed.
I've heard that a possibility of a year, or even years off the war could have been achieved, but then decades added to re-construction?
True or false?
