I'm reading a nice book on Zhukov [1] just now, I stand by my opinion, it wasn't with aviation that the Soviets defeated the Germans.
I live in Bucharest, there used to be a (civilian) building just close to where I now live that got raised to the ground by aerial bombings, but it wasn't the Russians who had bombed it, even though by then, April of 1944, they were really close, it was the Americans. It wasn't those bombings, nor the US bombings on nearby Ploiesti [2], that got us defeated, it was Soviet tanks, artillery and men. For example the photos from this article [3] of the Soviets on the streets of Bucharest in late August 1944 were taken in the intersection that I can now see from my apartment's building.
