If there was a need for heavy bombers for Germany is constantly debated in docus on TV, and apparently also in books. I take from these sources that many seem to agree that the lack of these really made a negative difference for the germans during their attack on England. while the famous StuKas due to their sirens are massively overestimated in their military efficiency and destructive potential. The 110 after some time simply had no realistic chances to survive anymore. And the medium bomber the germans used as the greatest flying callibre they had, the He111, did not deliver the massive blows like for example the American bombers. that a greater bomb load, if delivered with equal precision, translates into greater damage on the target, must not be explained i think. The cities the Germans obliterated in Poland and Russia for the main were destroyed by heavy use of artillery. The LW alone would not have been able to acchieve that, at least not in the given ammount of time, and without greater losses to AAA especially in russia, whereas Warsaw was left almost defenseless to the air raids during the Poland war.
