The ultimate what-if!

To elaborate, the commados would be transported in Milch Cows, and only a force of say 6 or 8 bombers would hit each city. It isn't important the tonnage dropped or accuracy, drop 'em over down town! The shock effect is what's desired, much like the Tokyo raid in '42. The benefit would outway the cost and or risk.

 

Actually, Hitler speaks very, very well about the British in "Mein Kampf". He says that the stubborn and uppish capitalists with suit, hat, monocle always speaking about the weather British who were portraited like that in the German press before and during the Great War "were not at all the British we faced in Ypres".

 

The benefit of what?
How would the german bombers make it all the way to THREE or more US cities? Without being discovered and shot down?
[aside- and of course, if the bombers had to carry the required fuel to make such a trip, there would be no payload left for any bombs!]
How would the commandoes be able to organize and land, let alone make any raids?
Logistical issue slike these would make any such operation impossible to even attempt, let alone succeed.

Most of all, seeing as how the US had already been attacked, what shock value? Ture, scuh an attack would have probably raised eyebrows in the US. But for one thing, such an operation would not have any potential for real damage, but ONLY shock value. It would not have delayed any wartime production, it would not have diverted any troops...

All this would achieve is making the allies even more determined to defeat Germany!
