Sure; strategic bombing (I suppose that's what you mean). Actually, my understanding is that both countries were militarily defeated; I believe that strategic bombing was really just political theatre.


Well Japan gave up immediately when Soviets entered the war with them, fire bombing of cities wasn't doing much on decision making. And Germany was literally defeated to last soldier standing, so yes strategic bombing definitely didn't defeat neither of those, just helped starve army for resources
