Air Power Was Decisive A special committee of civilian ex- perts, xperts, which moved into Germany be- hind the advanning Allied troops, last week. issued its report. on strategic bombing. It has found, after the most searching study, that air power was decisive in the defeat of Ger- many, despite many important fail- ures. 7,000,000 homeless Germans In view of the tremendous load of bombs dropped on Germany, 2,700,000 tons, civilian casualties were surpris- ingly light. The committee put the number at 300,000 killed and 708,000 wounded. This is roughly equal to one death per ten tons of bombs. On the other hand, more than 7,090,000 were made homeless in the destruc- tion of 3,600,000 dwelling units. This was a fifth of all the housing accom- modation in Germany. The committee called' the R.A.F. three -clay assatult on Hamburg in 1943 the most devastating of all, In 72 hours between 60,000. and 100,000 were killed and a third of the city destroyed. The German government was thoroughly alarmed. The com- mittee found some evidence that the government feared further attacks of similar weight might force Germany out of the war. This, however, did not happen. Whether air power alone could have won the war will remain an unan- swered question. The survey came to the conclusion that a rugged and resilient first class military power cannot long liv....e en..._dsr full_ _s.. ca)e_and free exploitation of air weapons over the heart of its territory. However, Allied strategy was based upon land invasion and because this was under- taken on a grand scale the opportun- ity did not arise for a demonstration of$the efficiency of air power alone. On the debit side the report found many items. The American precision bombing technique is written off as a failure. This at least is the im- plied verdict of the report. Peak pro- ficiency was attained in January of this year when an average of 70 per cent hits inside the target area was recorded. The target area, however, was a radius of 1,000 yards from the central 8bject. The over-all average, however, was only 20 per cent hits in such a target area. The report found that estimates of damage to steel production were too high. Shortages of steel were not a factor in the German breakdown. Neither were shortages of ball bear - jugs, despite the costly raids made upon the main bearing works at Schweinfurt. The submarinepens, which were attacked frequently, were not seriously damaged by the raids. While factory buildings were blown to bits, this did not halt production. Machine tools were often undamaged and the Germans ' showed ingenuity and determination in keeping produc- tion going despite air raids: The Ger- man aircraft industry managed to keep production flowing and in 1944 delivered more than 39,000 aircraft of all types. This was better than double the 1542 delivery. Where strategic bombing did pay off was in the attack on synthetic oil and, gasoline refineries. Shortag- es of gasoline, and -lack of trained pilots which could be traced to lack of fuel for training schools, eventual- ly ruined the German air force. The attack on chemical plants created a shortage of vital explosives for all kinds of ammunition. The continu- ing assault on communications, par- ticularly bridges and --canals, demor- alized Germany's whole productive system. Paid a High Price The strategic bombing victories were not achieved without cost. To knot out the Leuna synthetic oil plan, required 6,552 bomber corties and the droppine of 18,000 tons of bo bs over a whole, year. The com- bined R.A.F. and A.A.F. dosses in men were 158,000 and 40,000 planes Were destroyed or damaged beyond repair.
