Of course the important point you are making is the fact that no matter how
many times we bombed and they repaired, we would always be back. In the end we
prevailed. I have sort of lost track of how many missions we flew against the
marshalling yards at Cologne. See "Death of a Marshalling Yard" on my
website.

It is also important to note that we had to go back. It just wasn't
possible to knock it out one time so we could ignore it from then on
and go on to the next target. The Germans were pretty good at the
repair business, even for the Coal-Oil conversion plants which
required some specialized components to function (mainly high pressure
domes).
