Chuck Anesi has done us a terrific favor by posting copies of the USSBS Summary Reports for the European and Japanese Wars on his website. In addition, there are articles on the USSBS and the atomic bomb, and on Martin Bormann's escape route. The website address is:
http://www.anesi.com/chuck.htm
Here are the specific titles of the sections of WW II interest:
The United States Strategic Bombing Survey
Summary Report (European War)
"Makes fascinating reading, but the panegyric to air power must be tempered with an understanding that the war in Europe was largely won by Soviet ground forces."
The United States Strategic Bombing Survey
Summary Report (Pacific War)
"Widely quoted by journalists who have never read it, usually in fuzzy arguments against the use of the atomic bomb. Had they read the report in full, they would not make their uninformed arguments. Read it for yourself and see!"
How the United States Strategic Bombing Survey reports endorsed the use of the atomic bombs
"The United States Strategic Bombing Survey reports do not state or even suggest that the use of the atomic bomb against Japan was unwise. On the contrary, a careful analysis of the USSBS findings supports the wisdom of using the bombs."
The Escape Route of Martin Bormann, May 1-2, 1945.
"Retrace the steps of Martin Bormann from the ruins of the Fuehrerbunker to his doomsite at the Invalidienstrasse bridge. Lavishly illustrated with photos, sounds, and animated map."
Regards,
Richard
