They forget their own history, too.
A battle in 1942 was lost, badly, because the USN crews were zonked from a routine that gave them almost no chance for sleep.

The Luftwaffe was more "professional" and worked their crews much harder and didn't take time to relax and had a culture of focusing 24 hours a day on the job.
I read - years ago - that the most active combat was in the area around London. Not a small area, but it allowed RAF to move squadrons to lower threat areas for reconstitution and rebuilding before rotating them back to a hot area.
