ah, but my dear owl, German cities WERE the German power grids..hehe..
industries, ports, everything....DESTROY EVERYTHING...
no, seriously...the issue was the timing...for example bombing Dresden was highly questionable not on the strategic approach of it as some people say, but on the time...why bomb an industrial center that fed the Eastern Front war machine, as late as 1945, when the Red Army was already closing in on Berlin anyway? 1, 2 years before, would have been significant..then again, there was a bit (justified, of course) of "an eye for an eye" thing going on..
Would have made a difference is the French Army had crossed the border and stopped the Wehrmacht when Hitler ordered the Rheinland to be re-militarized, considering that the Wehrmacht in 1936 was still a feeble fighting force?
