If we were bombing Germany around the clock, have you ever wondered how and why it is they were able to produce so many different kinds of armored vehicles? Where did they get all that steel?

The “precision bombing” campaign was amazingly imprecise, and the Germans were really good at hiding industrial operations.

It wasn’t until we started bombing oil and refinery production facilities that we hit on the right target, and really ground the German mechanized war machine to a halt. Think the raid on Ploesti, among others. Those facilities were much harder to move/hide.
