I got through the read and am fascinated by it.
Noteworthy to say that I didnīt knewed that german AAA was
responsible for 30-50% of all heavy bomber losses over ETO.
Thatīs painfully much.

Well, bombers on all sides suffered high mortality rates. The study goes a long way to emphasize that. Those Luftstalags were filled with mostly bomber guys.....

Certainly proved the "bomber will always get through" theory to be wrong.

Very interesting kiwi.
