The Schräge Musik approach is also 'Keep It Simple' in contrast to the American over-complicate-it approach.

That term is also interesting as they considered jazz music to be 'queer'.

Ultimately though it was fuel that mattered. When the USA joined the war half way through it meant that Allied planes were on 100 octane petrol, meanwhile the Germans were using some glorified coal slurry and the Japanese were using some tree bark extract made by school kids.
