And, the bombing war played only a small role in Germany's defeat.
Its war with Russia was the main cause of its defeat.
Absolutely.There were many factors and Russia played a significant role as they lost 25m people. Don't forget that the US and the UK provided a lot of the arms to the USSR to do this.
