Sorry, Robert; the clock was running too fast by the summer of 1944.
POL shortages (from bombing), inability to adequately train
replacement pilots, the 'experten' going down one by one as they were
outnumbered every day, Allied fighters camping over the fighter
recovery bases, lack of the major infrastructure required to make an
atomic bomb, and then the Grand Slam bomb was capable of penetrating
even the sub pens . . . good thing it ended when it did.
