Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944

Not sure why they would be *hyper defensive* One would expect the number of
kills during daylight raids would be higher than during night raids also the
fact that the US bombers had much heavier firepower than the RAF.




The Brits are hyper-defensive about the effect on target. The German war
machine was not significantly hindered by the British Area Campaign. The
Germans expended much fewer resources to defend than the Brits did to atttack.
And until the Americans destroyed the Luftwaffe, the Germans were handing the
Brits their ass.

It also impinges on Bomber Harris, the head of Bomber Command. He has a good
reputation when he was in fact grossly incompetent.
