What B-52s would change in the Second World War

What if Allied B-17s, B-24s, and Lancasters became fully supported B-52s?

Allied bombers could rapidly destroy Axis oil and fuel infrastructure at its source, shortening the war dramatically.

The counterfactual replaces every B-17, B-24, and Lancaster with a supplied and supportable B-52. The panel's immediate priority is the Axis fuel system rather than indiscriminate target expansion. Modern range and payload would let Allied forces strike European oil fields, refineries, coal infrastructure, and distribution networks at their sources. Germany's mechanized war effort would face a rapid terminal crisis once fuel production and movement could be attacked with that reach and weight.
