... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations.

Very uplifting story. From the horror that is war, we see compassion equally powerful. Good on you sir, good on you!  :salute

The whole candy bombing thing was a complete failure. All of the bombs failed to explode.
