Re: RAF bombing of Germany after 1943

Harris being CG of Bomber Command definitely extended the war. The
Germans could have been run completely out of petroleum products much
earlier but Harris disobeyed orders to concentrate on Oil targets and
focused instead on city busting.

The frightening part was that he was concentrating about as much on
oil and transportation as the USAAF was. Harris' problem was that
he tried to stick to a strategy that wasn't very useful. The US
problem was that they didn't stick to a strategy.
