With the failure of the German Bomber 'B' programme to find a replacement for the existing medium bombers, and the continuing problems with the Heinkel He-177, the Luftwaffe found itself being forced to keep in production types with which it had entered the war. The heavy losses in Russia and the growing effectiveness of allied air power was having a dire impact on the ability of the German bomber force to carry out its role. In 1943 when the Luftwaffe once more launched night bomber raids against the UK, the effectiveness of the night flier defence led to very high losses.
