Honestly Teixeira should be put to death purely for his brazen stupidity. Literal life unworthy of life.

I prefer “Asiatic-Bolshevik horde” myself to politely remind them that they are a race of subhumans that should be annihilated without mercy, along with any degenerate who simps for them.

Okay so I did some quick calculating here. The average running speed of a 20 year old woman according to Torokhtiy (some random weightlifting website) is between 4.5 and 8.5 miles per hour. I will assume that Shoshana’s speed was probably closer the latter due to her state of fitness and adrenaline. 8.5 miles per hour translates to around 750 feet per minute or 12.5 feet per second. I re-watched the scene with a stopwatch and 36 seconds elapse from when she escaped the basement and when Landa puts his gun down (essentially ending his window of opportunity to shoot her). Assuming that the scene occurs in real time and she maintained a constant speed in those 36 seconds, she would have covered roughly 450 feet or 137 meters of ground.
Landa’s weapon is a Walther P38, standard issue pistol in the Wehrmacht and SS. It has an effective firing range of 50 meters, after which point the effects of gravity and air pressure on the bullet make it difficult for even a crack shot to reliably hit anything, although it’s not impossible.
At 137 meters, Shoshana was well over twice the effective range of a P38 away from Landa.
Could he have hit her at that 36 second mark? Honestly probably not. Even if he was an expert marksman with his P38, the mere fact that she was a moving target and already well beyond effective range would have made that shot virtually impossible, at least on the first try. Now if he had opened fire 10-20 seconds earlier, he may have been able to do it, and even if he missed the first shot, he still would have had enough time to readjust for a second or third. But by the time he put his gun down, he would in all likelihood have missed the first shot and not had time for another before she disappeared over the hill.

If it cut the war short by as little as two weeks, then it objectively saved lives judging by the average weekly death toll of WWII (approximately 160,000, calculating from 50 million over the course of six years, each 52 weeks long) and no amount of limp-wristed leftist crying can change this simple fact.
That said, for the sake of posterity, we probably should have dropped Little Boy on the Boso Pennisula (relatively unpopulated, but literally on Tokyo’s doorstep), preferably at night to maximize psychological impact, and then followed it up with a threat to use the next one on a city unless Japan capitulated. But that would have required expending a bomb when a grand total of two were available for immediate use and a third was still weeks away from completion, so it’s understandable why that wasn’t even considered as an option at the time.
