This sub is called HistoricalWhatIf for a reason. Questions like 'What if Hitler used firebreathing dragons in Battle of Britain?' don't belong here.
To increase both the quality of posts and the quality of responses, we ask that all posts provide at least a sentence or two of context. Describe your POD, or lay out your own hypothesis. We don't need an essay, but we do need some effort. 'Title only' posts will be removed, and repeat offenders will be banned. Again, we ask this in order to raise the overall quality level of the sub, posts and responses alike. Posts about recent, current, or future events will be removed.Ī modicum of effort is required to participate. Debating the premise of a post is allowed. Dismissing the subject entirely without explanation is not. Little Boy was triggered by a multiply-redundant set of ground radar devices in the nose in order to achieve the exact detonation height they were aiming for.
