He set himself up with that quote

Goering was head of the Luftwaffe(German air force) There can be two explanation for his choice of surname 1-Meyer is a common Jewish surname so he implies that people can call him a Jew if he breaks his word about enemy bombers not reaching ruhr. 2-Goering was somewhat of a celebrity even before his rise to power due to him being a WW1 fighter ace(22 victories) and commander of Jagdgeschwader I after Manfred von Richthofens(Red Baron) death. Meyer being a common German surname too, he implies that if he breaks his word then he is just a common German and there is nothing special about him anymore.

Insane statement since even before the war started, and with their better radar tech, Britain held the ideology that ‘a bomber would always get through’. This was why they told Germany they wouldn’t use strategic bombardment tactics if Germany did the same. The Nazi’s predictably ignored the agreement immediately.
