This prevented Germany from effectively retaliating later in the war in the wake of devastating Allied air raids upon German cities in an effort to destroy enemy morale.ĭoes anyone know why or have any thoughts on the question? In this light, it seems puzzling why Germany never built a 4-engine bomber, comparable to our renowned flying fortress. One of his most counterproductive interference in military matters was his order that bombers be given priority over the fighters Germany desperately needed later in the war. In regard to weaponary, strategy and tactics, he constantly favored offense over defense, with “counterattack” perhaps becoming his favorite word during the course of the war. He wanted huge tanks and battleships (until he became disillusioned with the latter’s effectiveness in the German cause) huge monuments, buildings and offices (or at least one for himself) and, most of all, a huge empire for him to rule. Hitler, the big-thinking warlord, generally liked large everything.
