There were a lot of actions toward the end of the war when
Luftwaffe performance might best be described as terrible. That doesn't mean that there weren't good pilots and aircraft still flying but the state of training had sunk desperately low.
And my impression of Nazi ideology is that the servicemen they really idolised were the dead ones, in my view the whole thing was a death cult.
