- WalterBright 9y agoWhile the bombing succeeded in destroying the factories, the Germans simply transferred bearings from machines where they weren't particularly needed to where they were.

- bryanrasmussen 9y agoI'm pretty sure that sooner or later you run out of places where the bearings aren't particularly needed, not to mention the extra work in transferring makes the system slower. I think the destroying of the factories was successful in its objectives.
