I assume that was just sarcasm. ;)
It was.

Nowadays I feel a current that kind of derrate the efects of the CBO in the outcome of WW2 and almost Paint it as a bloody and useless affair, many times cos in 1944 Germany achive the highest military output. But nobody seems to stop to think about the output if the CBO didn't take place. How much longer the War could had last? How many more people would had died?

I completely agree .... the retroactive re-analysis of past events, while applying contemporary morality and social standards is totally pointless, and is really just a tool to allow comfortable, secure people now to say 'Look how much better we are now'. The use of the atomic bomb in 1945 is another popular topic. In preparation for Operations downfall and Olympic, the US made so many Purple Hearts that they only recently ran out. Not to mention the estimated death toll of Japanese required to make them surrender (I believe estimates were in the multiple millions)

But .. it is not the No.93 Alsace but the No.98 Berry. The digit "8" has its shape damaged or peeled off at the top left part. What is more there was the large "8" number on the turret starboard side and a smaller one at the front area. The No.93 didn't have the marking there and the shape of the digit '3" was different from the "8" seen in the images.
