The Battle of Berlin was indeed a defeat, that was not the
entirety of the air war over Germany however and its provably untrue to claim that ai operations over Germany were suspended. Harris said he could knock Germany out of the war by attacking Berlin. And yet he stopped attacking Berlin. Why? If you say that Harris qualified his statement by suggesting that the Americans must help, then he was just butchering his own men because he knew that help wasn't coming.. Right? If you say that Harris thought that Bomber Command could do the job alone, well then he was wrong. You don't become a great captain by being wrong. Harris was not a great captain. The evidence shows that he was incompetent, if not criminally incompetent. Walt
