The German Luftwaffe reigned supreme in the early years of World
War II, developing new combined-arms tactics to produce the
Blitzkrieg ('Lightning War') that quickly conquered Poland, the Low
Countries and France. German ground attack aircraft and light
bombers, such as the Ju 87 Stuka, Ju 88 fighter-bomber and He 111,
provided close support for swift-moving German armoured formations.
However, in the Battle of Britain the Luftwaffe failed to achieve
supremacy over the British Royal Air Force; and once the American
USAAF began extensive bombing campaigns against the Reich from
1943, the Luftwaffe had to develop new fighters - such as the jet
fighter Me 252 and He 163 - to counter the bomber threat. Luftwaffe
provides a full pictorial record of the German Air Force, from the
testing ground of the Spanish Civil War to the final days of the
Reich. Key figures, such as Hitler himself, Luftwaffe chief Hermann
Goering, as well as many Luftwaffe pilots and aces, are also
featured.
