Agreed. I think this one time show could very well have prevented a much larger show that could have killed many more people. Guess we will never know for sure but a valid possibility.

Not so sure that applies so much these days, or even in the 40's. I don't think it's quite as easy to put a real bend on history with the amount of eyes that were on this war. There are still survivors today on both side that can give a pretty clear idea as to what went on.
