Re: Why were Me-262s used againsg B-26s?
The Luftwaffe Air Defence Command system had a very stringent way of prioritizing. If there were a penetration of heavy bombers everything else seemed to be ignored e.g mine layers and supply drops. But next on the list would no doubt be light/medium bombers and fighter bombers. So if the airspace of a JD was penetrated and there were no raid by heavies, fighters would be committed against that raid. One consideration against employing Me262 against lower priority targets could have been the fuel situation.
