Luftwaffe

The Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of the German military during World War II, established in 1935. It played a crucial role in Germany's military strategy, employing tactics like swift air attacks and ground support. Notable for its use of aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Stuka dive bomber, the Luftwaffe aimed to achieve air superiority for the German forces. Its operations were instrumental in early war successes but eventually faced challenges from Allied air power, contributing to Germany's defeat by the war's end in 1945.
