So if the Germans were bombing London and other major cities, rather than airbases, it was buying time.
Least thats what I thought.

IIRC the first bombing of Berlin happened due to a German bomber hitting London
Adolf had already promised no bombs would fall on Berlin so he switched plans
If only he knew how close they were to knocking the RAF out completely
Not a great comfort to all in the blitz but that change of tatics helped the RAF recover big time
Now theres a man you DONT want to give access to a time machime to
