Best strategic tactic in war?

Question

My vote is for england WW2 when they bombed Hitler caves where research was held for fission technology. Germany were leading the nuclear weapons race and if they had one Hitler would have bombed the entire united kingdom and more the war would have ended straight after england is destroyed. Hitler would have ruled the world like he wanted if they hadnt of stopped him. However the skill in the strategy was the way they made the bombs skim over the water to hit the caves because they never would have done it from above it was to strong.
What do you think were the best tactics?

Answer 1

you messed it up completely. the !skimming bombs! as you call them were the deep charges modified to ricochet from the water surface to reach the dam of the German water reservoir in the Ruhr territory. they were not used against the German research, but solely against industry in that territory which was to be flooded after the dam collapses.

Another BIG bombs, carried by the Lancasters of the same squadron like the Dambusters, were the largest convntional weapons of the WWII Once again they were exclusively used against German coastal defences and against submarine pens. no use against research facilities.

btw the terminus strategic tactics is a complete nonsense, too. strategy leads your overall intentions, means of following your intentions in the armed conflict. Tactics on the other hand gives a regular soldier or unit the instructions how to react to specific inputs from the battlefield.

Strategy is "bomb them back into the stone age"
Tactics is " fly as low as possible and deliver your ammo through a toss maneuver."

Answer 2

Combat can either be tactical or it can be strategic. It can't be both; hence the 2 names. Tactical can be a momentary event or winning a single battle but does not determine the outcome of a campaign or war. A strategic event alters the course of a war and can ultimately be the decisive action in determining the outcome of a war.

The Battle of Midway was a major tactical episode in WWll. However, the use of atomic bombs on the Japanese home island was a strategic event.

Answer 3

The greatest military tactic in my opinion is the Blitzkrieg (also known in modern times as "Shock and Awe") in which one gathers a large overwhelming force and attacks without warning, sending in a first-strike wave that takes out all the military targets and defenses of the enemy then sending in wave after wave of troops until the enemy surrenders or is captured.

The greatest military maneuver is the Double Envelopment Maneuver as used by Hannibal during the Second Punic War at the Batte of Cannae. He lined up his troop, outnumbers almost 15 to one against the highly-trained roman legions. Alongside his troops were his cavalry. When the Romans charged, the center of his line retreated and the Romans gave chase. His remaining footsoldiers flanked the romans while his cavalry swept behind. This was the single greatest military victory in all of history (up until 1992) in terms of the difference in casualties. Romans: Several hundred thousand. Hannibal: less than 100

Answer 4

The best military tactic was and still is in code breaking. Perfect example was the Battle of Midway in WWII. To that point the Japanese were pushing the U.S. Navy back on all fronts. The Battle of Midway turned the whole tide of the war in the Pacific. We allowed the Japanese to attack Midway and it was the last major offensive for the Japanese in the war. We abushed and destroyed the heart of the Japanese Navy, all because we had broken the Japanese military code.

Answer 5

Historians have shown that although the Germans did have a nuclear weapons program, it was nowhere as advanced as the Manhatten project. Also the heavy water shipment that was destroyed in Scandanavia was an important event.

Answer 6

Surprise has always been the best tactic in any engagement though out time. The ability to see and take advantage of an opportunity that your adversary was unable to see himself. Surprise allows you to control the tempo of the battle and allows you to do what you want, while your enemy will always have to react to your actions.

Answer 8

I always liked the whole medivievil cavalry flanking thing etc... I think the best tactic is to be better equipped and trained than ur opponent.

Answer 9

i would have to say that the british intelligence in the early stages damaged germany a lot. out of the german shipyards came a giant super carrier after years of work, in the hanger decks, it was designed to launched me262 fighter jets against new york city and washington d.c., but the british navy sunk it before it was barely underway.i have no web sight, my father, whom passed away told me all about this and in the late 1950's , our naval teams were diving down to inspect the remains took pictures of it and designed our super carriers after it
