Ok 941, I concede some of your points, let me correct you the P-51 was used as an escort by the US for the B-17s not the Brit's Lancs which always went in unescorted. I'd like to know your sources btw, at least you seem to have some I am working from memory here better go search something.
I also thought of something, I am sure use of forced (slave) labour was a factor in decreasing quality. I agree the scale was too big perhaps, but I still think the Luftwaffe was forced to pull back from other fronts because of the bombing and I still am certain new weapons were delayed because of the bombing, like the XXI. Agree about Romania and France, but I mentioned synthetic oil in my post...now the question I have is how important, potentially and in reality synthetic oil was. :hmm: Attacks on rail transport is almost tactical also.
