• Strategic_bombing_during_World_War_II abstract "Strategic bombing during World War II includes any government undertaking independent air campaigns of a clearly strategic intent. This includes the sustained bombing of railways, harbours, workers' housing, and industrial districts in enemy territory. The strategy is the air power theory that major victories can best be won by attacking the enemy's industrial and political infrastructure, rather than purely military targets. Strategic bombing is distinct from both close air support of ground forces and "tactical air power" (which is the battle for control of the air space.)On 1 September 1939 Germany invaded Poland and the Luftwaffe (German air force) began providing close air support to the German Army. The Luftwaffe also began eliminating strategic objectives and bombing cities and civilian population in Poland in an indiscriminate aerial bombardment campaign. On 3 September France and the United Kingdom declared war on Germany and that same night the UK's Royal Air Force (RAF) began attacking German warships along the German coast with the North Sea.As the war continued to expand, bombing by both the Axis and Allied powers increased significantly. Military and industrial installations were targeted, but so were civilian populations in major war centres. Targeting cities and civilians was viewed as disrupting the control centre of the enemy, damaging his rail network, disrupting war industries, and as a psychological weapon to break the enemy's will to fight. The RAF flew its first strategic bombing raid on Germany on 15 May 1940 (in the immediate aftermath of the Rotterdam Blitz). In September 1940, the Luftwaffe began targeting British cities in the 'Blitz'. From 1942 onward, the intensity of the British bombing campaign against Germany became less restrictive, increasingly targeting industrial sites and eventually, civilian areas. By 1943, the United States had significantly reinforced these efforts. The controversial firebombings of Hamburg (1943), Dresden (1945), and other German cities followed. The effect of strategic bombing varied depending on duration and intensity. Both the Luftwaffe and RAF failed to deliver a knockout blow by destroying enemy morale. However, strategic bombing of military targets could significantly reduce enemy industrial capacity and production.In the Pacific War, the Japanese bombed Chongqing repeatedly until 1943. The U.S. strategic bombing of the Japanese Empire began in earnest in October 1944. Earlier, small-scale attacks by the U.S. out of China had been hampered by the task of delivering supplies over the Himalayas (known as "The Hump"). Missions out of the Mariana Islands escalated into widespread firebombing, which culminated in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August 1945 respectively, and the Japanese surrender on 15 August. In the opinion of inter-war proponents, the surrender of Japan vindicated strategic bombing.".
