 "     That was true of the RAF's strategic 1000 bomber raids, but the RAF
also had the Mosquito light bomber which had an incrediably accurate record in
pin-point bombing, as will as the range. If the RAF had targeted a single rail
junction in 1944 in say Slovakia, the Hungarian jews would not have been sent
inmass to the death camps in Poland. It is a fact the the Nazi war machine
without the military production done in the camps could not have gone on the
offensive in December 1944, the war would have ended at least six months
earlier as a response too Operation Market Garden."

You are mixing apples and oranges. First, bombing the rail lines in Poland
meant flying over ALL of Germany, past Berlin, the heavily defended city in
continental Europe at the time, and then continuing on to Russia for refuel,
rearming and maintaince. A highly unlikely, nor succesfull scenerio for anyone
attempting it...just as the US Army Air Corp (US Air Force wasn't formed until
sometime around 1947). Nor, for that matter, would a Mosquito have the range to
get to Slovakia or any where well inside German lines to accomplish pin point
targeting.
