37 losses is amazing.
Glider: you only had about 5 different LW day fighter Jagedgeschwaders, while the bulk were fighting on the Ost front. truly the only real JG scoring in the spring of 45 was JG 7 with the 262. Day fighter JG 300 and JG 301 doing work on both sides of the front were getting slaughtered daily.
Sys: Döberitz bei Berlin was one of the stations still functioning along with those in Denmark and north Germany so the interior infrastructure was still on some sort of normalicy. prob as with the day fighters was lack of fuels and the ever present Allied fighter bomber attacks on airfields.
As to radars still be ing developed within the LW arsenal yes they were working and getting hammered by the foil strips of window. more Mossie NF's to hamper the existing and flyable LW nf's did not help. So yes the area of coverage in all respects was being diminished almost on a daily basis
