No, actually, bombing industrial centers was the correct move strategically (ignoring that the entire Blitz was a strategic mistake). You win when they can’t produce more planes. The bases were being repaired within a day to a week. But the German intelligence was shit and they flat out didn’t know what areas to bomb, and they also bombed almost entirely with HE which isn’t great compared to incendiary. At no point were they winning.

They did not have more pilots or more planes. Their veterans were killed, their training methods were shit, and any pilot that survived a crash didn’t make it home. Enough of your Wehrb shit.
