- gunapologist99 3y agoI take it that your point is the opposite, but it's still a good one: the Blitz would have gone VERY differently had there been AA guns on every rooftop. It'd get pretty expensive for bombers to plunge into the Channel and pilots thrown into a POW camp.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoBut the result wouldn't have been AA guns on every rooftop. The UK's capacity to produce AA guns wouldn't have increased. Their economy was already focused entirely on the war. The result would have just been a lack of planning on how to actually make effective use of the resources available.
