Originally posted by jamiemartin721 Pretty much, although the German air force losses were also a factor, the provision of fighter support was decreasing and the decision to switch to the Blitz was partially influenced by resources and the experience of the Spanish civil war. This wasn't specifically limited to London though, the Germans were bombing most British cities that were in range. Without fighter escorts targeting British airfields was increasingly dangerous (Especially given the use of Radar which was effective in allowing British Fighters to intercept German aircraft). Yeah, RADAR kept us in the game long enough for the Germans to make tactical errors. Goring was a knobhead and Hitler should have kicked his arse out earlier. Fortunately, they were both useless.

Fortunately, they were both useless. Hitler's classic failure was in trusting his 'political officers' more than his military officers. Letting Himmler have so much control over the Waffen SS, Goering over the air force, rather than actual qualified proficient generals (of which the German war machine had plenty of). One of the surprising successes of the Blitz was the Anderson Shelter, which had been judged as useless, but made available because 'it was better than nothing' and would be good 'for morale'.

I could also mention the fact that Terry Nation and Raymond Cusick based the Daleks on Nazis. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (20 Jul 2017 6.21pm)

A lot speak French too, which is truly ironic seeing how much effort they've put in over the years to making it the other way around. We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

The Dalek tendency to utter all their dialogue as if they were on the podium at the Nurenburg Rally is a dead giveaway :-) Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage.
