Once again, let's not forget they were operating from a foreign country, with all the possible logistics strains, and still managed to bring Great Britain to the brink of collapse with their bombing campaign.
They didn't manage to overcome their opponents just because they were led by a buffoon and dispersed their offensive potential, but had all the capability to gain air superiority all the time.
in a way Germany was also fighting on it's own soil, it had after all just conquered France and was using coastal airfields and local resources with an uninterupted supply line from the the Fatherland.
