Not really. German arms production was HIGHER in 44-45 than it was in 41-42. It was actually tactical aviation that had the greater impact by taking out transport. Albert Speer had German factories humming until the end.

Yep, turning the escort fighters loose on their return to England for low level strafing any military targets they came across destroyed more than the bombers in the last year of the war in Europe.


Doesn't matter how much you make if ya can't get it to the front. Fighters and Resistance fighters played hell with the infrastructure. British Tiffies were especially good at vehicular interdiction.
