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.
