In short production went up because of
the bombing.

Not true. Production went up *in relation to earlier yearly production* because
most military hardware factories were operating in the neighborhood of 40%-50%
of their capability. By 1942, German armament factories had nearly doubled
their output capacity. In the "United States Strategic Bombing Surveys",
undertaken after the war, this *undetected* excess production capability was a
major intelligence failure by both the UK and the US.
