That raises an interesting question. On average, I wonder what the
bomber kill rate was for traditional German fighters when the allied
bombers had long range escorts all the way to Berlin?

I also wonder if flak from the German 88's imposed a greater toll on
the bombers than the German fighters?





....according to this webpage...German fighters...

From
https://www.quora.com/How-effective-...ircraft-weapon

"A single gun had only a remote chance of hitting or damaging an Allied bomber.
But many guns were used increasing the chances of a hit or damage.

"Numerous bombers were damaged and some brought down. Numerous crew injured or
killed. But the greater losses were to German fighters
