Too little too late. Somewhere I heard the Americans were pumping out a B52 every 35 minutes. The Germans were done by mid 1944 but just didn’t know it yet.
They figured that if they could get peace with the US, they could recover. However, I tend to agree with you. My wargaming tells me that they would have been better suited to free up the Courland Bridgehead. 33 divisions, including 3 panzer divisions, along with bloodying that Soviet front might have given better results.
You mean a B-17. Or perhaps a B-29, but I don’t think they were cranking those things out very fast...
The B-52 is a 1950’s (first flight 1952) project that replaced the Convair B-36.
Not B52s. B-24s. The Ford Plant at Willow Run finished a B-24 bomber every 59 minutes when running at top capacity..
