The objective of any fight is to win... you can do that either by physically making the other person incapable of fighting or by sapping their will to fight ... why kill just ten guys when you can also scare another 500 at the same time for no other cost
Only in the early years? Both military veterans and civilians alike reported that even after the war ended, they still suffered nightmares and other ill effects of that terror. I'm not sure how one "overcomes" it, especially during the war. ~
The Nazis didn't put any special sirens on their planes. The sound you hear is the wind whistling through the tubes under the wings that hold the bombs.
You may well be right. But once the Nazis discovered that that 'accidental noise' did more damage to the British war effort than the bombs did they took all the advantage they could from it, instead of trying to stop it. That sort of noise means wasted fuel and pilots with ear-problems. the first response of any engineer would be to reduce the noise.
Wrong. Look it up. The notorious single-engine, two-man, dive-bomber’s iconic ‘gull wings’ and ‘spatted’ undercarriage are as unmistakable as the plane’s instantly recognizable wailing siren, dubbed the “Jericho Trumpet” (♬ LISTEN TO IT HERE).
On top of what has been said. If I'm not mistaken the original prime motivation for them putting them Stuka's was to scare the crap out of horses in convoys and battlefields. Scaring the chit out of citizens and soldiers was acknowledged as another benefit, but I've read in a few books the concept was originally devised by people looking to cause chaos with mounted units.
It doesn't matter. Especially an accidental double spacing. Normal people don't even notice or pay attention to that. This is Answermug, not the office or a publishing house.
No, Just no. What you suggest is the kind of excuse a PR department come up with when people complain.
