Unfortunately, the Luftwaffe was spread too thin to provide naval escort during much of the war. Herman Goring only grudgingly consented to give Doenitz a few JU-88s in 1942 for Atlantic duty. Not exactly the finest fighter plane. Most of Germany's planes at this point were committed to the struggle with the Soviet Union. Blame the Fuhrer's ambitions and the Eastern Front.
