Why wasnt America bombed by German airforce during World War 2.?

Answer 1

because the planes neccessary for long range bombing were not yet available. planes at that time needed refueling on a frequent basis, and air-to-air refueling was still a concept many years away from realization.

Answer 2

It wasn't because they didn't want to. There were German spies and sabotours, but they were usually rounded up pretty quickly. It seems while we bad-mouth the supposedly racist American leadership for bundling up Japanese-Americans in concentration camps, we had camps for Italians and German-Americans too. We weren't quite so generalized, it wasn't necessary, these guys did the enumerations for us as the American facists kept records, so we rounded up those on their own lists.

There were other adventures of the Germans to attack the US directly as well. A famous one was with German warehouses and "advisors" in Mexico. South America had a strong supporting presence of Germans in Chile, Argentina, and Uraguay.

Consider this, if Hilter had succeeded in the Battle of Britain and we hadn't helped the Soviets in the dark early days of the war, Japan and Germany would have done a dandy job of trying to carve up the US like a turkey. I have a piece of currency in a drawer that supposedly was from the stocks that Japan had printed up for when they would have subjugated the Western US.--the Germans were going to have the Eastern half. Japan had their own atomic weapons-building team. So the next time you go through the summaries of WWII, notice all those many "chance" moments. If several things "happened" differently, the US might very easily have directly suffered from bombs and blasts of the war. We might still have won, we might also have lost or found ourselves severely disadvantaged. At the beginning of the war, Hitler's air force was technologically well ahead of us. Hitler lost Germany's war, not his military, who had definite plans to take the fight to America--at their own proper time.

Answer 3

As others have said, germany did not have any long range planes when America entered the war. However, the JU 390 was selected for production and two prototypes were built before the project was no longer sustainable in the face of the Allied advance.

Answer 4

Thankfully ,they never got around to bombing the USA.

, The Germans where far too busy,bombing the UK
and the rest of Europe and Russia.

also
The German Luftwaffe, did not have the resources, to fly all that distance

we shot down, a great many of the Luftwaffe as they flew over,
so that helped restrict them a bit too .

To our eternal gratitude ,America dived ,in and helped free us from the Nazi tyranny, when we had our backs to the wall.

We must never forget , or underestimate their help
and sacrifices during WW2.

Answer 5

Bit previous due now, after all the two HM Queen and HRH Prince Philip certainly serviced interior the British military in the time of WW2. Philip interior the Royal army and HM Queen, then HRH Princess Elizabeth, served interior the British military. different venture is that the Queen is Grand Admiral of the Fleet - Royal army. So, there you have it. Your question extremely places me in ideas of what Charles deGaulle did. He asked that each and all of the yank military be faraway from France. After a short pause, the human beings asked, "does this incorporate each and all of the yank infantrymen buried on French soil.?" No, imprisoning everyone for only having a German ancestry isn't a stable thought. the human beings who have been interned in the time of WW-2 have been labeled as undesireable extraterrestrial beings and quite a number of alternative of them have been certainly those days arrived Germans. The Royal kinfolk might have German kinfolk rootes, yet they are not those days arrived - they and their ancestry have been right here for the better area of almost 3 hundred years. I propose, only how long does it take for a individual to alter into English? And, what of Princes William and Harry? Their mom substitute into positively English.

Answer 6

Because their bombers and escorts doesn't have the range to get across the Atlantic from German bases, I think their plan was to conquer England first since it's obviously closer. Except that they failed in that. Thank god for those blokes. Anyone who said that the US saved your arses in that war are crapping on you; it's the other way around.

It should be noted that German U-boats were all along the eastern coastline (both Canada's and US'), sinking supply ships en route to Europe, and planting spies so that's the closest the Nazis have gotten.

Answer 7

No German planes could possibly fly from Germany to America, and return to Germany without refueling.
In order to bomb America, Germany would have to have had bases close by. That was impossible. Those bases would have been blown to bits by the American air force.

Answer 8

Location, Location, Location.

Answer 9

The Germans (Nazis) did not have aircraft carriers to get close enough to the mainland US. They were working on the various rockets to attempt to reach New York City or Washington, D.C.
Luckily that did not come to be.

Because Japan is an island nation, aircraft carriers were given higher priority when building their military.

Answer 10

Too far for planes (the JU390 was not ready yet).

The long range subs fired torpedoes at ships near the east coast though (that is a sort of bombing too).
