Britain fought well after the Blitz. Germany continued fighting hard certainly into December 1944 (Battle of the Bulge), after many major cities (e.g., Hamburg, Cologne) had been bombed to bits. And Russia fought hard and won after losing many major cities (e.g., Kiev, Minsk, Kharkov, Rostov, Smolensk).
