First off, a short definition on what aerial interdiction usually called just interdiction in this video is. Simply put it is about about isolating the enemy forces from supplies and reinforcements. Why Aerial Interdiction was so much more effective on the Western front than on the Easter Front in 1944 »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Dick, C.

Also, the allies had the incredible advantage of using airfields in Britain that were beyond the reach of ground forces - even effective long-range artillery - and were by that time largely unmolested by air attack.
