Nope I'm wrong.


The Spanish Civil War probably was the first use of widespread strategic bombing. Stuff before that was too small scale to really count.

Attempts at strategic bombing were on a tiny scale compared to what happened in Poland and onward.
Oh right I didn't know the scale of literally gassing the Kurds decades before al-Anfal was the important aspect, rather than the intent

If not for the Holocaust, today we would look back at Germany's actions in the 30s and 40s benignly.

Fact of the matter is that Germany looked to its east, and saw a vast empire forged by conquest. It looked to its West, and saw nations like France and UK with vast colonial empires, and the USA which forged a great nation through conquest. Thus, Russia, France, UK and the U.S gave inspiration to Germany to become one of them by behaving similarly.

But Germany's concurrent genocidal actions have obscured their more or less reasonable plans of land conquests (reasonable in the sense that it's what Russia/UK/France/USA all did and denied to Germany.)

Amirite?

Is there any good information other than a handful of quotes from Churchill and a few others. The records on this do not seem very clear.

That's like saying early Americans did a great job of establishing a new independent nation from the grasp of colonialism and was incredibly successful and right in their actions which made the U.S. such an exceptionally strong new nation, except for the ethnic cleansing and slavery.

On the positive side ww2 did weaken the USSR permanetly. Sure they conquered vassals. But these vassals were all poor as poo poo countries that had been burned to the ground during the war. Western Russia got immensly wrecked and they lost a ton of men. Imagine the cost of rebuilding and all the russian babies that weren`t born because their would be fathers had been killed.Plus they quite understandable felt like they absolutely positivly had to spend 80% of their gdp on the military which also hosed them up in the long term. Hitler did not defeat them, but he did set in motion their decline and eventual fall in 1992. Even today Russia suffers from the war. They can`t break out of their paranoid mindset and feel compelled to support boneheaded Foreign policies that only serve to alienate and impovrish them. And it`s all because Stalin taugth he could trust Hitler and allowed himself to get outwitted by a lazy degenerate one-balled austrian.

it's hard to consider this a good thing in light of the fact that the main reason it's a good thing is because the soviet government would have been more or less inclined to kill similar numbers of people themselves
