More easily I submit.
Concentration of a 1,000 bombers in a limited area and time saturated the defences and achieves local air superiority. A similar plan was envisag envisaged in the Cold War with penetrating bombers routed through just a few gaps this saturating the missile batteries.
Had the 1,000 bombers been spread over much of Germany many more fighters would be able to engage.
