Re: Question about Bf 109K-4

"The one thing I want to know is the keeping it in production was a mistake or not?"
Very interesting indeed.
According to Galland's book, it certainly was not a mistake (or am I totally wrong ?)
the k4 would've been as good as any other plane flown by properly trained pilots, with proper tactics AND proper petrol.Hitler's obsessions made the plane useless but it made ANY plane useless.
Now as for what the Germans should've done, it's quite a different topic. surrender in 44 ? sure but ... what about "not invading Russia until UK was knocked out" ? or "not declaring the war to the US after Pearl Harbor" ? you can't rewrite history, can you ?
