You are talking about 1941.
I'm not sure what that has to do with 1944.
The Luftwaffe raids on Liverpool involved more than 600 bombers. Many Luftwaffe crews flying at that time were men like the man you cited above. British GCI radar didn't cover Liverpool or Northern England. There were few radar equipped night fighters to be vectored with the radar. AAA was not as effectively aimed or controlled as it was in 1944. Luftwaffe guidance systems were ineffective in 1944.......I could go on.
