Bomber Offensive

The Bomber Offensive was a strategic bombing campaign conducted by Allied forces during World War II, primarily aimed at destroying Germany's military infrastructure, industrial capacity, and morale. Using long-range bombers, they targeted factories, transportation hubs, and cities to weaken the enemy’s ability to sustain the war effort. The goal was to disrupt production and weaken German resistance, ultimately hastening the end of the war. Though effective in damaging key facilities, it also caused significant civilian casualties and destruction, raising ongoing ethical debates about the strategy’s impact.
