Why, then we would have to disregard the whole thing. [:D]
Ah yes. I did not think of the consequences of disregarding the misconstrued misconceptions.
It's never wise to disregard the consequences of disregarding.......

Exactly. The operative phrase here being "few bombs", i.e. not enough to drastically influence production. This just further emphasizes the fact that the Luftwaffe was designed to support the German army, and not to operate by itself.
Thats a misconception.
You disagree that it was a tactical air force not a strategic one? [&:]

It was both. But not as good as it's opponents. The USAAF actually formed two separate Air forces in England. The 8th was Strategic, the 9th Tactical. Germany couldn't afford that.

.....plus a transport arm that could have been an airforce in itself. What a lot of folks in the "outside world" tend to overlook is that many things that the US could afford to do half-@ssedly would have been out of reach of any two other world powers combined.
