minus-squarefrank@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 days agoWas there even close to enough precision to try to bomb Obersalzberg as a statement? Nuclear or no, it was not a huge target and I know it had anti aircraft defenses
minus-squareKühlschrank@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 days agoEnola Gay dropped it’s nuke from 30,000 feet which as fas as I understand was well out of the practical range of AA guns at the time. I would guess that altitude makes targeting an issue but obviously precision with that type of destructive weapon isn’t really a concern.
