Yes it is a wonder that any of those chaps could go back to a civilian life after experiencing so much anxiety .

Harris did try to persuade the Americans to come in on the Berlin bombing but they refused.

The Germans had developed a very good Air Intercept radar , the SN-2 that was fitted to Me110's . They also listened to the H2S emissions from the British bombers. A day after the first deployment of the H2S the Germans captured a intact set in a crashed bomber. Berlin had three massive flak towers with twelve twin 128mm flak guns firing a barrage up to 45,000 feet every ninety seconds, the exploding shells threw out shrapnel in 100 metre radius .
