Given that the Luftwaffe did fly missions to the very end, and that the personnel was transferred to the infantry... 

 

Total breakdown only occurs when you get no orders from the top. Until then machinery turns and work is done, regardless of the situation. A similar case is ceasefires. War continues up until the agreed point, strange as it seems. 

 

Some personnel was transferred and some missions were flown but when you study the figures you can easily see that the personnel and machine to mission ratio doesn't match.

 

The wonder weapons like the 262 were another great excuse to keep people waiting
