There's been many books suggesting that ultimately it would have been better to say target 'oil' or transport & suggesting that some aspects of German industry because it was spread to smaller satellite factories etc...

And maybe that is so.

But as others have explained well on this thread and countless times before - it's pointless; at the time it was considered the best way to wage & win the war though certainly it was not without its critics then...or now.

Frankly the simple thing that amazes me is lads less than half my age had the courage to get into a bomber at all and to fly off into that hell. I have no words to express enough my admiration or thanks.

And finally - the Nazi's reaped what they sowed & they were still trying to win with terror weapons as long as the war went on.
