Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?

[Roger Gaemperle]

Six Nifty .50s, I didn't claim that he said it in Public nor that the Allied propaganda knew about it, did I?

I only said that it was an ironic remark of Göring regarding the Allied propaganda which spread the rumor - partially appropriate, at least in summer 1944 - that the Germans had engine problems at high altitude. They indeed had troubles with the engines at the beginning since at high altitude the Jumo speed governor delivered too much fuel for the low air density and there were issues with the fuel nozzles which operated not so well at low pressure. But these problems were mostly solved towards the end of the war when they were just about to introduce a new type of governor (Beschleunigungsregler) that allowed the pilot to vary the throttle as fast as he wanted without risking a flame out or burning engine.
