What then was the intention, Chris? To starve Britain out; to demoralise the government or population; to damage war production; to degrade the air defences; or ... ? They seem to have tried all of these at some point, expending a couple of thousand aircraft and their crews for a gain of what - medals and promotions for a few hotshots? They undoubtedly did a lot of damage but at the end of it all, Britain was still an active belligerent and the RAF and the British Army were stronger than they had been at the start.
