I am well aware that hindsight has 20/20 vision and that it is easy to look back and challenge decisions taken. Yet one has to be embarassed by the policy of pure terror Britain used against the pure evil my father's generation faced.
So what if Bomber Command was about half the size it was in OTL and consisted mainly of Mosquitos targeting roads, railroads, canals and bridges concentrating on attacks at dawn or dusk.
In OTL the Mosquitos used as 'pathfinders' were quite accurate.
Of course train tracks and roads can be repaired. However key routes being blocked for days at a time- and maybe the same track being blocked 30 kilometers away 6 days later.
Could this have truly effected Nazi war production?
By the way how much problem would Britain has had if the Nazis had used JU88S and faster Dorniers in the same way.
How much of a difference could it make to the allied effort having more of the best men and that much extra productive facilities and less use of gasoline
