Re: Question about Bf 109K-4
Poor quality was a very widespread problem in the Luftwaffe. The quality of Bf 109 airframes certainly varied a lot. This is hardly surprising considering the general conditions (lack of raw materials, poor quality fuel, slave labor, dispersed production etc.). Don't forget the extensive exhaust staining on German aircraft; all versions of the Jumo 211 and the BMW 801 being very "dirty".
In general, I agree with ArtieBob's considerations - but I'd like to point out that in late 1944 there was no other option for Germany but unconditional surrender (at least after Graf Stauffenberg's bomb failed to kill Hitler).
