Why was Hitler's bombing of London a stupid accident?
In order to seize the air superiority quickly, the German Air Force focused on attacking the airports of the British Air Force, which was characterized by extremely frequent air raids and fierce air combat. Since the middle and late August, the German Air Force has dispatched more than 1000 sorties every day, and the British 12 air bases have been hit by continuous destruction within 10 days, and the British army has lost 286 aircraft. Pilots also suffered heavy casualties, and the surviving pilots were exhausted after continuous air combat. If the German air force continues to attack, the British air force will not be able to support it. But at this critical moment, Hitler suddenly changed his mind and turned the focus of air strikes to bombing London. This gave the British Air Force a breathing space and saved the situation. This is the second time that Hitler has made the mistake of "suddenly stopping the battlefield" since the Battle of Dunkirk. Why is this? After the war, historians analyzed that it seems that some dramatic accidental conditions affected the course of the war. 1On August 25th, 940, the British Air Force sent 8 1 bombers to prepare for air strikes on German mainland, mainly targeting German airports and industrial bases. But the weather was bad that day, the sky was overcast and foggy, and several bombers got lost and flew over Berlin to drop bombs. Since the outbreak of the war, the German capital, which has been immersed in the atmosphere of invincible victory, has been attacked by air, causing heavy losses and losing face. Hitler became angry from embarrassment, determined to retaliate and pointed his finger at London. After the British bomber returned, he was severely reprimanded for bombing the wrong target and even prepared to accept military punishment. At this time, it was discovered that the subsequent German bombing targets had turned to big cities such as London. In this way, the pressure on front-line airports has been greatly reduced. The wounded and tired British Air Force got precious breathing space to rest and replenish. After the war, someone said humorously that it was precisely because of the bombing of these troops in "Star Trek" that the British Air Force was preserved and made great contributions to crushing Germany's "Sea Lion Project". Whether these unofficial history road comments are correct or not, we don't need to delve into them. But there is no doubt that Hitler thought that bombing London could throw the British capital into chaos and paralyze the British high command, thus simplifying the German landing task and forcing Britain to surrender without landing. Hitler's decision was opposed by many Germans, but Lieutenant General Goering firmly supported it. He tried to lure the enemy into an air battle during the air raid on London and destroy the British plane in the air, but the fascist wishful thinking was wrong. At that time, although London, Coventry, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Plymouth and other big cities were immersed in a sea of fire and suffered serious losses. However, the British Air Force, as an effective force in the war, survived, quickly recovered its combat effectiveness, dealt a heavy blow to the Germans, defended Britain, and persisted until the end, winning the war.
