I would say "no" since that technology would have come absent the war, indeed absent the nazis. |
To me, that's a hypothetical question which is irrelevent. What has occured, occured.
You or I have no idea if things would have been better or worse.... one other hypothetical situation many have thrown around over the years, is that Hitler could have killed someone even worse then he was, who could have done more distruction and killing off of humanity.
But see.... I predict you or someone else would throw that in the irrelevent category.... yet it's the same mentality as you express above, just on the other side of the coin.
You or I will never know what could have happened if things were different and WWII never occured, or as it did at least.
Was the trade off worth it? I can not answer that, considdering both you and I are currently taking for granted the societies and technology which came about from that era in humanity. If you can not accept what has occured in our past, then you can not accept where we are today in the world.
History will repeat until we learn from our mistakes.....
