Given the constraints it placed on the Allies, I'd disagree.wiking said:I'd say the Atlantic wall was too expensive for the effect.
Agreed on both points.wiking said:Building up Flak Towers all over Germany from July 1943 (Hamburg firestorm) instead of all of the bomber projects and jet fighters beside the Me262 and all of the underground factories was totally logical. Hell, canceling the wasteful V2 in favor of building of FLAK defenses
It looks like it, but there's a solid basis in reason, actually. Politically, Hitler needed to do 2 things: defend, & strike back. Otherwise, he risked revolution.wiking said:Hitler's pathological need to retaliate took over
Agree entirely. Improvement of its accuracy would have paid very substantial dividends, too.wiking said:The V1 was a perfectly cost effective way of retaliating and should have been the only method used.
Aside: was it impossible for U-boats to use V-1s against convoys?
