Re: Luftwaffe Myths

Hello Ruy
I don’t entirely agree with You. Britain and Commonwealth stood alone against Germany almost a year from late June 40 onwards. With surface power of Kriegsmarine crippled during Norway campaign there wasn’t much else to try against GB than air-attacks and U-boat campaign. And LW losses during the BoB were a bit under 2000 a/c permanently lost and apr. 3400 flying personnel KIA/POW, to me that doesn’t sound as half-hearted attempt. And those almost straight after substantial losses during the May-June 40 campaign.
