Really.
Possibly true, depending on where said German Bombers were based.
Utterly misleading, however.
As I noted in a previous post, IIRC,
unescorted German Bombers could reach most of the UK.
Unescorted German Bombers =
dead meat.
55% of the RAF was north of the maximum range line for escorted German Bombers ... which is, also, one reason why the Germans were never going to be able to win the Battle of Britain with the resources they had available.
