What if the allies had prioritised the Atlantic NOT the strategic bombing of Germany?

On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry ‪@Drachinifel‬ once again - this time to discuss the decision by the allies to prioritise the strategic bombing campaign of Germany, rather than the Atlantic. It had huge ramifications for D-Day and the Cold War borders, but was it the right one? This is History Undone. Welcome to History Undone, a channel that looks back at pivotal moments and asks 'What if?'. We'll be looking at key battles, strategic decisions and political outcomes with leading historians and current military experts and tacticians to see what might have happened differently, and more importantly, what impact those differences might have had on the world today.
