Re: Luftwaffe Myths
Indeed, I think we're aware that the Luftwaffe was a 'tactical' force led by incompetent leaders into a total 'strategic' war. I think most commentators agree that the Soviet shifting of their production centres out of range of the Luftwaffe medium bomber force contributed in a fundamental fashion to Soviet victory..or did it not? ...or that the German air defence organisation had everything - a Flak arm and civil defence organisation of millions- except a 'roof'.. By the way have you looked at the (mediocre) Luftwaffe attempts to carry out strategic bombing on Moscow... ?
Soviet victory because of Normandy Landing without it the war on Ost not finished before the fifties, strategic vs tactic if your scope is to beat France polen nd even Russia you can go tactic, necessary to put some strategic against England, but for sure England was very not the goal at the beginning just "collateral" adversary..
Strategic-bombing is interesting to starve fighter opposition, with in mind the landing, nd attack benzin facilities, all other is quite just to occupy the force
