Remember adler though it was great pressure being bombed around the clock imagine it nailed by the Yanks in the daytime and by the Pomes at night time. It would have been hell to be in berlin at the time...
Imagine the RAF quitting night bombing in early 1944, join the 8th and 15th and 12th, concentrating on all strategic targets including Dusseldorf, Koln, Munster - inside the radius of P-47s while USSAF going deep with Mustangs and Lightnings - and expanding their (escorted RAF heavies) radius as more Mustangs and P-38s came into theatre and RAF Mustangs joined.
In one stroke the twin engine fighters lose their effectiveness (both day and night) and even more pressure is put on daytime German pilots to fly multiple sorties a day trying to take on twice the bomber count - and worthwhile targets get pounded more efficiently.
THAT would have been the real nightmare...
