Harris doesn't even mention the Nuremburg raid in his critique 'Bomber Offensive'. However, after the raid on Augsburg (qv), Willy Messerschmitt moved his Research Bureau to the site of the NATO School in Oberammergau (near his home town of Murnau), where up to 5000 staff from all over Europe beavered away on radical transonic designs - none of which went into production because of the massive dislocation due to the progressive collapse of the transport infrastructure and the necessity to disperse production.
Irrespective of what modern day commentators think of Arthur Harris, in 'Bomber Offensive' he makes some very compelling arguments on the development of the weapons, aircraft and crews necessary to conduct an all-out offensive. There are modern 'Lessons Identified' in what he wrote 65 years ago.

Reason: confused Nurnburg mit Augsburg
