Mind.

Blown.

When I say "inferior machines" I do not merely refer to performance or quality of the planes, but the fact that the flight lines suffered constantly of lack of spares, oils, fuel and ammunition.

Quality-wise there surely was a gap between American and German planes, the main differences being in the availability of materials for industrial production (the Mustang itself was made of at least 40 different kinds of alloys), but technology-wise stuff like the kommandgerat and the jet fighters put the Luftwaffe years ahead.

This discussion is pointless, those guys believe in Captain America being a historical fact.

From 1942 to 1944 the Germans had access to all the resources in Europe

That's an alternate history string or maybe you're just an idiot.
I wonder why my grandmother had(or was supposed) to donate all brass, copper and other rare metals her household could spare to the government.


edit:

They never had to worry about landing in enemy territory or running out of fuel.

Really? What were they doing in Africa? Fighting the Axis of evil? What relevance had Romania?
You're second...

Really? I'm pretty sure the Germans controlled all of Europe. In what alternative universe was that not the case?

Probably for the same reason that Americans were doing the exact same thing.

It can't possibly hurt very much.

North Africa was a minor sideshow for the Luftwaffe.

And I have no idea what Romania has to do with this. I didn't bring it up.

Nor am I surprised that you won't even attempt to explain whatever idiotic connection you apparently dreamed up.

Geez, guys, what is the point of all this? I guarantee there's no audience watching this side show and cheering for anyone. All anyone here is doing is showing off how much of a jerk they can be.
