Je pense que Patrick (Dynamo) faisait allusion aux tirs AA sous toutes ses formes plutôt que terrestre et idem pour moi .
On ne peut guère parler de préparation d'artillerie dans ce cas bien sur.

La consommation de munitions antiaériennes, qui avait été monumentale durant la WW2, avait mis à mal, dès 1944, les caisses de "pépètes" du III.Reich.

Over the entire course of the war, one source estimated that the flak arm averaged 4,940 rounds of light flak ammunition and 3,343 rounds of heavy flak ammunition per shoot-down. Using the latter figures, the cost of bringing down an aircraft with heavy flak totaled 267,440 RM, or $106,976, while the cost per aircraft brought down with light flak totaled 37,050 RM, or $14,820.
...
One method by which the cost of an individual flak kill can be placed in perspective involves examining the production costs of some of the aircraft that they were intended to destroy.
For example, the cost of a fully outfitted B-17 was approximately $292,000, while a fully equipped B-24 cost approximately $327,000 in 1942.32 In comparison to the heavy bombers, the unit cost
of a North American B-25 and Martin B-26 medium bomber in 1942 was $153,396 and $239,655, respectively. These unit production costs for the medium bombers do not include expenditures for maintenance, ordnance, and fuel or the costs associated with training the bomber aircrews.
In any event, it is apparent that a cost of $107,000 per shootdown for the heavy flak guns and $15,000 per shootdown for the light flak guns was not excessive in comparison with the costs involved in the production of these aircraft. However, the entry into the war of the United States, with its vast economic resources and massive production potential, allowed the Allies in many respects to conduct a war of financial attrition against the Axis powers, a type of war that the Luftwaffe was ill prepared to wage.
Between July 1942 and April 1945, German flak defenses accounted for the destruction of an estimated 1,345 Bomber Command aircraft (RAF) during night sorties, while Luftwaffe fighters brought down an estimated 2,278 Bomber Command aircraft (RAF)
In comparison to their British counterparts, flak defenses accounted for over half of the USAAF's combat losses during the war in Europe, downing almost 5,400 aircraft compared with the 4,300 aircraft shot down by Luftwaffe fighters.
Assuming that this percentage of seriously damaged aircraft is representative for the entire command, the total number of "seriously damaged" aircraft between December 1942 and March1945 was a staggering 14,889.
