It’s kind of grimly amusing that before WWII, air power enthusiasts were certain that a few bombs dropped on cities would cause mass panic and the recipients would immediately quit fighting and sue for peace. Even though bombs were dropped on cities in WWI and it didn’t do anything except piss people off.

WWII started and Germany dropped a bunch of bombs on London and it didn’t do anything except piss people off. And then the Allies dropped 100X as many bombs on German cities and it didn’t do anything except piss people off.
