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.
