Summary:
The Third Reich's last ditch efforts to sweep the massed Allied
bomber formations from the skies of Germany centred around the new
crop of jet 'wonder weapons' that were issued to the Jagdwaffe from
mid-1944 onwards. Far in advance of anything the Allies had even in
the experimental phase, types like the Me 262, He 162, Me 163 and the
Ar 234 could perform their combat sorties with relative impunity.
However, paucity in numbers and unreliable jet engines eventually
cancelled out any technological edge that these aircraft offered.
