Yes J.B, but the use of ALL of these factors,and more in combination, at the right place and at the right time, at least at the beginning of the war did seem like something "new", "inovative" and it seemed to "work" once in a while to. At least to the Allies, or so it is said, is'nt it??

Cheers, good post John!!
