→Luftwaffe
Saying that the P-51 destroyed the Luftwaffe may be simplistic. While the airforce was the weakest area of the Germans technologically (until near the war's end), the Luftwaffe was destroyed by overwhelming numbers which the Germans couldn't match, especially when bombing of Germany commenenced in earnest.

::yes, but if you're a Luftwaffe pilot it's a P-51 that shoots you down. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 14:53, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

:::How badly did losses on the Eastern Front hurt the Luftwaffe? They must have had at least a significant impact. (Change it to "Luftwaffe in the West", maybe?)
:::Also the loss of fuel due to bombing raids (although the P-51 arguably made those possible).--[[User:Frey|Frey]] 17:09, 21 October 2008 (EDT)
