Nice work. Obviously, by this time in the war, there was no threat from Luftwaffe fighters to threaten attack on this lumbering aircraft.

Lumbering bomber? Are you nuts? All ww2 bombers were lumbering! This made no difference to as the max bomb load was 10 tonnes anyway.

One thing for sure. The Germans had better intelligence than you give them credit for. Much more than is manifested in your pithy comment. Have you ever flown with 10 tons of bomb load sitting in your belly? I guess not.

We always find ourselves in the position of having to defend the world from extremism and tyranny. Without our bombs and other weapons, your future would be very grim.

Thanks for sharing your expertise. Now, can you tell me what system the crew used for sighting and bomb release?

So now what are you changing your story to? That there was a threat to the bombers, or not?

Stop crying for dead Nazis. And we will cure AIDs, whereas if the world depended on innovation and invention to come out of the middle-east, nobody would even know what electricity is.
