The first attack by the German Air Force's strategic bomber force had undoubtedly displayed extremely formidable striking power. Kazan, this vital industrial city, had been almost entirely destroyed. The aircraft factory, a key target of the German Air Force, had been completely demolished. This had dealt a severe blow directly to the Bolshevik Air Force's aircraft production capacity.
When the German bomber group had dropped its bombs and swaggered away, only the Russians on the ground remained, grimly cleaning up the wreckage.

Modern war was a contest of overall national strength. Industrial power was undoubtedly the most important part of that overall strength. Once their industry was destroyed, Buru simply could not endure in the war. Even if they still had tens of millions of troops, without bullets, without shells, without even rifles, what would they use to resist the German advance?
