If you'd like to know more about german planes, I highly recommend Wings of the Luftwaffe by Eric Brown. I'm german and I find this book to be the best source on the topic; it's also well written :)
Nah; read Wings of the Luftwaffe. Eric Brown test flew pretty much everything, and his conclusion was that the 262 was not controllable much beyond about Mach 0.8.
Condensation doesn't tell you anything about the aircraft's Mach number. It just tells you that the air is humid and the passage of the aeroplane is sufficient to cause the water to condense. You will see it over very obviously subsonic aeroplanes (e.g. over the high lift system of airliners on approach).
The Prandtl-Glauert singularity also doesn't tell you that the aeroplane is supersonic with respect to the freestream.
