What was the "cost benefit" ratio in that single operation of the Dora/Gustav?
How many manhours were involved in construction, transportation, logistics compared to "damage done". Could a small contingent of He-110s have not done the same damage at less cost?
Those things were just silly, hadn't that thing used up its barrel life in the operation? And needed to be withdrawn and re-barreled? Still, makes one shake his head in both awe at the size, and awe at the foolishness.
America isn't immune to "silly" sometimes either, remember the "Atomic Annie" cannon? About as useful as an atomic hand grenade.
