   The single largest investment by Britain during WW2 was building a   
   credible strategic air force. The intention of this force - RAF Bomber   
   Command - was to win the war by demoralising the enemy. This weapon was   
   also demoralising in another way, to Britain itself, in that although it   
   caused devastating damage, it did not succeed in blunting Germany’s will   
   to fight on.   
      
   That said, while Bomber Command could not win the war against Germany on   
   its own, as its commander Air Marshall ‘Bomber’ Harris claimed, it did   
   provide one of the most significant tools for ensuring final victory.
