Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.

And not until well into 1938 did the Germans begin to think of strategic bombing

This not quite right.
The first chief of staff, Walther Wever, launched a programme, called "Ural Bomber", which led to the Do 19 and Ju 89, both "stragetic bombers".
The programme was cancelled after Wever's death in 1936.
Better read (again) Williamson Murray.
