goring can't be blamed ofor everything the reason for some many of his mistakes was he never actually knew what the operational strength of the luftwaffe was he always thought it was stronger than it actually was and when he did find out it was to late because he had become so arrogant and would have looked a fool not to boast.
also germany went to war to early the luftwaffe wasn't properly equiped and didn't have enough resevres.
i would recomened reading "the most dangerous enemy" a history of the battle of britain it expalins how porly equiped the luftwaffe was and how BoB won the war an excellent book well worth 10 pounds

Meserschmitt was partially to blame too. He didn't want to change the narrow landing gear to a wider setup by having the wheels in/closer to the fuselage and have them extend outwards. I read an article that quoted (so I'll assume its relatively true) a high ranking Luftwaffe officer that said approximately 30 000 Me109s were built, and 10 000 of them were destroyed in take off/landing incidents due to the narrow gear.
Also only one high ranking Luftwaffe officer realized they needed a four engine strategic bomber and he did a while before WWII, and with his death was the death of the Luftwaffe strategic bombers.
