Terror is not an effective tactic to end a war. It only motivates the enemy more.
No one said it was to win the war itself it was too demoralize England and it worked in large part until Germany started getting carpet bombed and the dichotomy exampled the British isles relative safety.
As someone that is British I take exception to the idea the V2 rocket somehow demoralised us, even temporarily. It takes a lot more than that to break us. It was a scary weapon, sure. But it didn't reality make the reality of the war that much worse than it already was.
You can take offense at history but it's a fact constant air raids were a major demoralizing factor. That's not a shameful thing, its a natural reaction and no amount of "stuff upper lip"-ing really changes that.
It was a scary weapon, sure.
What's another word for scary? Terror. It's a terror weapon not a practical weapon.
That's the thing though, they weren't demoralising. Bombing civilians is always pointless and has no measurable effects on the military outcome(except if they hit a factory that is making weapons or something like that). The Allies did make the same mistake though, in bombing civilians thinking it was demoralising the Nazis...

The only thing bombing civilians garuntees is that your enemy will continue fighting, so if you're wanting to conduct a genocide without using death camps, its quite effective for that...
You just admitted they were.
We just discussed how they were ineffective militarily.
That did succeed though.
What is this podcast supposed to do exactly?
Lastly "Nuh uh" is a bad argument.
I don't mean it as an insult, just thought taking one of those courses might be helpful for you.
