Which means they'd be harder to find. I love all the auto targeting of the wizards that the haters assume to happen.
If bolts of smoke go flying into an area shooting green lightning that kills people, you really think the Nazi's would be able to do a damned thing about it?
"Throw a bomb at it!"
And hit your own men? That's good for morale. But that doesn't mean you did a thing to the smoke bolts.
Perhaps rather than claiming to have seen the movies, actually watching them is in order? And no, using information easily gleaned from the internet is no proof that you've actually borthered to watch something that clearly has the accused animosity toward it.

They employed free fall and timed shutdown of the engine, not a targeting computer. They were designed for bombing the crap out of cities (in a very sporadic fashion), not for intercepting aircraft.

I think you WAY over estimate fiendfyre and greatly underestimate bombings from above.
Also, while wizards on brooms taking on Messerschmitts is a silly notion, wizards riding around on brooms to scope out all of Germany is not. The wizarding world can easily turn their members invisible, and Goering's dismissal of radar as a waste of time ensures they won't be spotted by technology. Technology that can be easily befuddled by charms anyway.
Also, has anyone mentioned the ghosts yet? Think of everything they can do and what can't be done to them.

Ghosts could make very good spies....though I thought they were trapped in Hogwarts?

I couldn't care less if you believe me or not and I couldn't care less if you think I "hate" Harry Potter and this is why I think some wizards couldn't take on the Third Reich. Maybe you hate this film or that, but I don't bother attributing hatred to a fictional story, so don't put your nonsense on me.

Ah, glad you wiki'd V-2 rocket. No, they're not heat seeking or computer guided, iirc.
Quite a rather large area bombing at that if they need. I see we're back to the "Hogwarts is invisible!!!11!" last line of defense. Obviously if that's in play, then there's no fight to begin with.

Mhm, and dementors. And potions and portkeys.

Theres that inappropriate 'Haters' word again...
As illogical as someone saying that an atheist can hate god.
If it were just the students of Hogwarts, this thread would be different. Hogwarts does nearly the same number of people to fight a country load. Not to mention the younger students really wouldn't be able to do much. So if it were just the students f Hogwarts here, I'd certainly give it to the Axis.
That said, since we're throwing in the big wigs like Dumbledore, this thread is spite. All out warfare, while unpreferable, would not be nearly as hard. Just imagine Harry Potter riding around on his broom, while wearing his cloak, and firing reductos at enemy planes. He might get shot down, but he could do a lot of damage.
So, sneaky tactics wizards stomp.

He then has defined you, by those terms as a "everything thats not a wizard hater", then. 🙂With special SW/McHatred.
If I hate SW and McClane, then why am I watching DH as we speak? Why do I have 4 lightsabers? Why do I have a collection of SW books, vehicles and action figures? AND not one piece of HP movie gear?
