After Harris conceded that the Battle of Berlin was unwinnable using heavies [prohibitive loss rates] Bomber Command switched to using Mosquitoes and visited the German capital frequently ........ not doing enormous physical damage but demonstrating that we could bomb whenever we wished, thus keeping a very large number of resources tied up. German morale could not be improved by air raid after air raid. Mosquito losses were negligible by comparison to the heavies.
