Luftwaffe Operational History

The Luftwaffe was Nazi Germany’s air force during World War II, playing a crucial role in early military campaigns through strategic bombing, air superiority, and close air support. It helped rapidly advance German armies across Europe but faced increasing challenges from Allied air defenses and technological advancements. As the war progressed, its effectiveness declined, suffering heavy losses and limited resources. After Germany's defeat, the Luftwaffe was dismantled, and its legacy remains a significant part of military history, illustrating both innovative tactics and the destructive impact of aerial warfare.
