摘要：T HE MAJOR part of the USAAF operations in the EuropeanTheater from August 1942 to June 1943, except for the training and experience gained, was wasted effort. The Over-all Economic Effects Division of the United States Strategic Bombing Survey, in its report on The Effects of Strategic Bombing on the German War Economy, stated: "Prior to the summer of 1943, air raids had no appreciable effect either on German munitions production or on the national output in general. ... small delays were caused by the late 1942 and early 1943 campaigns against submarine production. But itis impossible to conclude that either submarine production or munitions output as a whole was any smaller as a result of air raids than it would have been otherwise.
