Question about Bf 109K-4

[ArtieBob]

That is really a pretty easy question, once you accept the premise that late in 1944, the question is whether Germany should have continued to build any aircraft at all. If you were going to build aircraft that you no longer provide with either properly trained crews or fuel, then it mattered very little what type you built, so one is just as good as another if the only thing you are doing is sating the goverment and military's desires for numbers (we built 5000 a/c this month, of course there are only resources to use 1000 of them).

For Germany as a nation, the best thing that could have been done by Fall 1944 was to seek peace under the best conditions it could. That would have saved a lot of German lives and resources. By that time there was no real possibility that any of the original objectives of the war could be attained and it was time to cut their losses. But governments rarely make very good decisions in such times and many of the mistakes made by Nazi Germany have been repeated several times over in the interim by many nations, continuing possibly even to today.
