Description
 
The best estimates today have it that the war in Europe most likely would have continued for about 24 months after February 1944 had it not been for the cumulative effects of the Allied strategic aerial offensive against the Germans. That means the war was most likely shortened somewhere between 13 and 15 months by the effects of the campaign. We say “most likely” and “somewhere between” because we can’t be more certain. That is, starting at the end of 1944, the Western Allied and Soviet ground advances began to blend their resource-denying effects with the successes being scored by the bombers. Where precisely the effects of the one effort picked up and the other left off is, and will likely always remain, a matter of debate.

We can, however, use that December 1944 cut off date to our advantage. We know for certain that, prior to that time, any collapse of the German war effort would mostly certainly have been due to the bombings’ effects. If the “Bomber Barons” were to prove they could win a war with their planes alone, they had to do it by that date. Thus would-be Bomber Barons in today’s wargaming hobby must also bring their efforts to fruition by that time in the game.
