No it's not correct, it's hindsight driven and quite lazy I think.
If you follow this line where does it end? Hitler in the bunker in '45? Ranting away, quite mad, insisting that the Germans deserved to be destroyed. Well lucky he didn't have much of an army, navy or airforce left, and all those efforts taken in destroying those forces quite futile, eh?
Don't get me wrong on this, there's a number of operations both regular and commando which didn't have the required result. Despite the propaganda value of these operations the fact remains that they worry the enemy on all levels from command to civilian, and stir the allies to a similar degree.
The Dambusters raids are a good example, although modernly dismissed by some as unsuccessful it does show how where there's a will there's a way. Despite all of Goebbels protestations, if this allied force chose to do what they did there was very little the Germans could do to stop it.
