Text of chronology

Most of the table text is a verbatim copy of the cited source. I feel this needs attention. GraemeLeggett (talk) 12:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

strength of forces?

most other battle articles have a section describing the strength of the forces before the battle. this article needs one too. does anyone have the information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.98.94.248 (talk) 09:46, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please eliminate jargon

"they claim 14-5-6 Luftwaffe aircraft;" etc. This is meaningless to the average reader, needs to be stated in layman's terms. Rcbutcher (talk) 14:48, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Allied Victory?

Excuse me but what the fuck? I mean, the losses of about 2,000 Allied airmen killed against 250 German airmen lost means the Allies lost 10 times more men, also in the Aftermath section it is clearly stated that the effects over German industry were "fairly limited"; so how was this an "Allied victory" again? Because it seems like a German victory or an Allied PHYRRIC victory at most, perhaps a review (by someone really knowledgeable) and change of the outcome is in order.

Harris

" Arthur "Bomber" Harris resisted contributing RAF Bomber Command so as not to dilute the British "area bombing" offensive." - Harris had a pre-existing Directive and orders from the War Cabinet and the CIGS to carry out the Area Bombing offensive and any new requests that contradicted such orders required specific new orders to be given him whether he approved of the new requests or not.
