Lol. Even some of their most generous estimates were projecting a decade at least likely longer before the German Military would be capable of large scale prolonged operations. Even with the budget increases and rearmament programs they have since launched.
And that estimate was made not all that long ago. Unless they suddenly pulled a plethora of trained pilots, extra jets and munitions, plus spare parts and competent ground crews out their ass. The Luftwaffe is capable of a few days of sustained active combat operations. Maybe. And that’s assuming minimal enemy resistance, minimal losses of men, munitions, and aircraft. Not to mention a moderate operational tempo.
