      Literally US doctrine since WWII. Germans whole strategy in the Battle of the Bulge was to attack while it was cloudy out, because if the sky was clear they were fucked. They got fucked as soon as the clouds cleared.

        Honestly, they were already mostly fucked before hand since a lot of their armored units were either surrounded or all of the bridges along their intended routes were blown up. The air superiority just sealed their fates

      The ground is generally found under the air, so when you have total air superiority, you actually just have total superiority.

      You can’t win a war from the air… but it makes it a whole lot fuckin’ easier.

        What if I said we’ll do something about it, knowing full well that we won’t. Now do you believe I’m American?

            “Well, we” hold on “we may need to” I said hold on! “excuse me for a minute, would you?”

            mumbles “Got it.”

            “So the republicans would like to know how many Rubles you’ll pay.”

        Congress is the tiny foreskin on the extremely large shaft. Is that the non-credible enough for you?

    I’ve watched a few WW2 docs some I hope I’m not confused.

    But this one is really good and goes into the manufacturing and oil resource side of ww2. Which I think is horrifically undervalued in war documentaries

    For your own sake get the British version not the American one. America narration is always over the top.
