  1. Out of that whole paragraph, only 4 words mattered; "if unopposed by fighters"... Germany could have easily conquered Britain if unopposed by the RAF, RN, and British army. They could have sent panzer divisions racing across America if unopposed by the Atlantic Ocean. When engineers design something that works perfectly on the drafting table and then assume field conditions will be exactly the same, whatever they designed will fail before it ever completes its first test use.
