The success of the Allies' audacious foray has yielded vital technological information: from now on Allied bombers will be able to jam Axis air-defence radars with specially-tailored aluminium foil chaff. The failure of the Axis forces to conceal this weakness may cost them dear. They must hope that they can keep their secrets a little more secure in future.
The alertness of the Axis and the alacrity and aggression with which they respond to Allied incursions are a source of pride to the Axis Commanders and alarm to the Allies. The Allies will have to match the Axis' resolve if they ever hope to reclaim Western Europe. Basic failings in resolve and tactics have resulted in a humiliating Allied defeat.
