Learn something new everyday dept.... I heard for the first time (on History Channel) recently that so great were Britain's fears about the potential of the V2 that Sir Winston lobbied Truman to use an Atomic bomb on Germany. This of course was before the first bomb was even dropped on Hiroshima. Glad it didn't come to that, although the total damage from our day/night bombing raids probably far exceeded the damage of one A-bomb. Besides that, as fanatical as Hitler was about taking the German people down with him, he would never have surrendered anyway....
