Re: Opinions please (impact Allied fighter bombers on D-day)

As Franek has already said the psychological impact on the German forces was immense, this throughout history has been a weapon just as much as any arrow sword or bomb.
Also knowing that your only defense against this type of attack was down to light AA ( fantastic as it was ) with no squadron of FW190's about to turn up and save the day must also have added to the psychological impact.

Am i correct in saying that 8 60 pound rockets from a Typhoon was the same as a broadside from a light cruiser ?

If so imagine this multiplied to a Squadron size.......directed at you !
