how about if they had conducted their air assault using the smaller low level raids that gave a better cost/benefit than the massed raids? hitting multiple targets at as little interval as possible would've played havoc with plotting intercepts, and could have allowed fighters sweeping shortly after to catch the RAF in the air or landing after scrambling in response to the first wave of attacks.
was always one of the problems with fighter sweeps, radar could usually pick out what was bombers and what was a trap. rarely afforded the the luftwaffe the chance to get the required 5-1 k/d ratio that would've been needed to destroy the RAF as a fighting force, and using 109s as close escorts just shackled them. better to use the bf110 and ju88 as the low level raiders unescorted, and rely on not getting picked up by radar, only the less efficient observer corps.

i think the brilliant tactic by churchill was porovcking hitler into bombing his cities( did the luftwaffe really got their bombs wrong when the 1st city was bombed or was it staged?)
it deviated attention form main targets and he new the war of terro actually contrary to its intend boosts morale edit: theres no stronger weapon than the moral that gives knowing your self righteous and the divine justice that that brings

Didn't Galland say something about the Battle of Britain from his perspective did not end? And that the invasion of Russia just changed priorities?
After reading Spitfire on my Tail by a German Me109 pilot, I get the impression that Galland as a tactition was not highly regarded. For instance, Galland opposed the use of radios in 109s during the BoB due to their weight penalty. Best Regards, MB_Avro. |

Steinhilper seemed to have a rather low opinion of galland as a tactician... and as a flight leader. The luftwaffe aces tended to put a kill above the poor katschmareks.
Wasn't the main issue with radios that the fighters and bombers had different crystald, leading to tragedy as missions were called off, and bombers left unescorted. in one case the fighters received the recall, butdespite aerobatics and the fighter formation leader's best efforts to get the bombers to turn back they advanced aline and got torn to shreds.

Reading the "First and the Last" and other books like the mentioned "Their most dangerous enemies", "Spitfire", "The BoB" Marce l Lullian, "Operation Eagle" Len Deigthon..., I tend to put Galland rahter in the education of the days between WWI and its remains.
I guess Galland was still in his hype of the "easy" days in Spain with "Legion-Condor,-we-just-waggel-our-wings-and-everything-is-right". He was opposing the use of radios in fighters (and I can understand the KISS/S philosophy), but for opposing the first sohisticated air defence, I guess he was not prepared nor was any of the LW stuff, hanging to the beliefs of knight duells. Even if he understood the basics of aerial warfare, he didn´t seem to be great teamplayer. And the team play was, what made the RAF and the FC strong, or not?
