That is a myth, albeit frequently aired by anglo-saxon researchers. When night bombing started in 1940 the Luftwaffe very quickly developed a very effective command, control and reporting system, which continuously adapted as the allied air threat changed.
And as a side-note it was the German concept of air warning, reporting and tactical control, which was adopted by NATO in the integrated air defence system.
