Change in Bombing Priorites 1941

Has anyone come across a document which:

- Explains why the attack on London 10-11 May 1941, exactly a year after the attack in the west, was chosen on this date and was so heavy?
- Explains why after 11 May 41, targets were then mainly airfields/nuisance raids, then coastal and shipping targets (Bismarck breakout coincides with this) with the occasional attacks on cities?

Was it simply that Barbarossa was approaching, the tactic was failing or what?
