They did not work that well after the BoB when we went on the offensive. When you look at the 'numbers' in some of the large operations over France they certainly do not reflect a positive count on results, and the Germans certainly were not ineffective with their tactics. Very easy to 'nibble' a large formation and B.... off than defend yourself against it. Hang on thats what 11 group did before !!!
