lso a fact the effect of the bombers helped Speer push through
the changes. The main effect of the bombing was military, the
cost of the air raid warning and protection system, the deployment
of so many fighters and flak guns in Germany, the losses to the day
fighters in particular in early 1944.

Don't forget the bridges, marshalling yards, rail facilities, ammo dumps, fuel
dumps. food supplies, dams, canals.road junctions that we detroyed.
