Id seem to remember that Goering said he knew the war was over when he saw P-51s flying over Berlin. Is this true?

Goering said, "I will give every Luftwaffe pilot 100 pieces of gold for every Mustang they shoot down." But, later that day, he rescinded the offer. He did hand out some tokens, though. Wulf

He did not mention mustangs by name.
He said "When I saw your bombers over Berlin protected by your long-range fighters, I knew then that the Luftwaffe would be unable to stop your bombers. Our weapons plants would be destroyed; our defeat was inevitable."
He was talking to General Spaatz of the USAAF.
DICTA BOELCKE for WoWP
1. Try to secure the upper hand before attacking.
2. Always continue with an attack you have begun
3. Open fire only at close range, and then only when the opponent is squarely in your sights
4. You should always try to keep your eye on your opponent, and never let yourself be deceived by ruses
5. In any type of attack, it is essential to assail your opponent from behind
6. If your opponent dives on you, do not try run away from his attack, but fly to meet it
7. When over the enemy's lines, always remember your own line of retreat
8. It is better to attack in groups of four or six. Avoid two aircraft attacking the same opponent
