Although it has been more than 70 years since World War II, the pain brought to mankind by the war has not dissipated. During the war, countless families were destroyed and people were killed, and they lived in the shadow of war all day long. Germany, the number one invader of the Sithism, committed many crimes during World War II. Unlike Japan, which always refused to admit its mistakes, the Germans dared to face the past history. To this day, we can still see that all German prime ministers have made apologies for the crimes committed by Germany during World War II.
So, how did Germany accumulate strength to launch a war? During World War II, Germany had strong economic strength and a complete industrial foundation. Compared with other countries, the army had a very high degree of mechanization and strong combat effectiveness. It can be said to be a rare rival on the European battlefield. At that time, it was the world's second strongest country in the world. The Ruhr Dam, as Germany's core industrial area, naturally made considerable contributions to Germany's development.
In World War II, Germany built itself into a war machine with its strong industrial strength, and severely damaged the armies of other countries in the world at the beginning of the war. At that time, the most classic building in Germany was the Ruhr District Dam. It was a fortification that the Germans were proud of and benefited thousands of Germans. In that era, the main source of electricity for the entire country of Germany was the Ruhr Dam, which shows its importance to Germany. The Ruhr Dam has always supported the operation of the German industrial zone and has a high strategic position in the German industrial zone.
The power supply core of the entire Ruhr Ruer industrial zone are these dams located on the Ruhr River. If these core dams are damaged, it means that a large number of factories of military-industrial enterprises in Germany will suffer heavy damage and be directly paralyzed. This also led to the Ruhr Dam becoming the primary target of attack by the Allied Forces. At the suggestion of the US military, the United Kingdom sent the elite Air Force to carry out the Luhr area dam bombing mission. After five special bombs successfully hit the dam, 400 million tons of floods surged through the gap, killing 30,000 lives in an instant.
For the UK, this bombing operation was very successful. It not only completely destroyed the German dam, but also stopped production of the arsenal. Germany's frontlines could not obtain sufficient military supplies. Germany's losses were heavy and irreversible, and the German combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. However, during the bombing process, the British Air Force suffered heavy losses. In addition to the bomber , which was hit by German anti-aircraft guns, when the flood of the dam gushed out, many British bombers were also involved in the flood. Not only did more than half of the bombers performing bombing missions, not only did more than half of the bombers in the British Air Force destroy, but more than 50 air force soldiers of the British Air Force also died on this battlefield, and the degree of losses was obvious. Based on the following specific data, we can see that the British Air Force lost more than 10 aircraft and killed 53 people. It can be seen how tragic this bombing is.
War is not a game between children, and war is often soaked in blood and pain. Many ordinary people do not want to experience war themselves, because once a war breaks out, the unarmed people will be the first to be hurt. Although this incident happened in World War II, which was far away from us, the pain caused to the ordinary people and the damage to the local environment were huge, and both Germany and Britain suffered a serious blow. From this we are not difficult to see the cruel nature of war. No one can escape unscathed. We also see from it that the huge lethality brought by the flood after the dam is destroyed is no lower than any advanced weapon. The bombing of the German dam also inspired China. Therefore, in this regard, China has always held a very tough attitude, forbidden any country to destroy our Three Gorges Dam. China will do its best to protect the lives and property of the Chinese people.
