Why the RLM stubbornly continued production of the Bf109 I will never understand. It only proves the inept bereaucratic machinery of WW2 Germany where high command and administration knew very little of the operational conditions of Jagdflieger units. Political intrigue, personal prestige as well as profit interests and corruption all had very negative effects on the Luftwaffe even if its pilots were largely unaware of it. Göring however was a blatantly arrogant corrupt pig, to him the war was more of a inconvenience than anything else.

The difference is striking when you see how the Soviet aviation industry was mobilized, and the British and US aircraft manufacturers were organized. Germany however did not enjoy the abundance of resources in raw materials that the allies did, which really was what kept the Me262 from becoming a deciding factor in the air.
