Ok
Early 1944 the RAF and the AAC , practically ceased bombing industrial targets in Germany and switched to attacking transportation targets in France and Belgium in preperation for Overlord.
My question is what would the effect of not using strategic bombers for essetially theatre targets? Would the continued strikes at german industry have had shortend the wars, or would it have made little diffrence? and at the other end of the scale, would D-day have been a whole lot bloodier due to more german forces being available, or could the medium and light bomber forces available to the tactical airforces have taken up the slack and covered the marshalling yards ect?
Your thoughts are appreciated as at present I cant decide on where thet bombers could have been best used.
