Operation Matterhorn | The Shuttle That Strained Logistics | WW2

Описание: 🎖️This video traces the B-29 campaign from its politically charged deployment to Asia through Operation Matterhorn’s India–China shuttle, early precision attempts hampered by weather and logistics, and the leadership changes that followed. It examines Curtis LeMay’s tactical shift to night, low-altitude incendiary raids, culminating in the Tokyo firestorm and subsequent urban burning across Japan. Drawing on operations from Chengtu and later the Marianas, the film assesses damage to industry and cities, aircrew losses, and the broader psychological impact, presenting the argument that sustained firebombing and collapsing morale—alongside atomic strikes—shaped Japan’s decision to surrender.
