JG 300 was to be in total equipped for short range combat near Berlin against US bomber formations but the LW Geschw. never saw one enter into their service

my vote goes for the Ta 152H
Least the Me 262 was active in WW2 & not a pipe dream like a fighter Sq of Ta152
That like me say the P80 shooting star a better fighter than a P51
