Help me!
I love Wikipedia and do hate to bother you. But I am a bit troubled by the page on RAF Bomber Command. It seems to try to minimize the effect that allied bombing of German industrial sites had on the outcome of World War II. The truth is that things were very touch and go for the allies at many key points, particularly on the Russian Front, the Italian Front, and even in Normandy and in the Battle of the Bulge. The truth is that the war would have been much longer if it were not for the allied bombing of German manufacturing, petroleum production, submarine bases, airfields, etc. It was an important front that sapped German strength, particularly on the Russian front.

 * You're welcome to propose specific changes (with reliable sources to back them up) at the article's talk page or to modify the article itself. It already has a lengthy and rather essay-like section on the effectiveness of the strategic bombing campaign detailing, for example, the importance of diverting almost 10,000 German 8.8 cm guns to the anti-aircraft role that could have otherwise served as anti-tank guns on the Eastern Front. The verdict on direct effects on German production seems much less certain. Huon (talk) 18:36, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
