The Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of the German Wehrmacht during World War II. Germany's military air arms during the First World War, the Luftstreitkräfte of the Army and the Marine-Fliegerabteilung of the Navy, had been disbanded in 1920 as a result of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which stated that Germany was forbidden to have any air force.
During the interwar period, German pilots were trained secretly in violation of the treaty at Lipetsk Air Base. With the rise of the Nazi Party and the repudiation of the Versailles Treaty, the Luftwaffe was established on 26 February 1935. The Luftwaffe's Condor Legion fought during the Spanish Civil War, the conflict became a testing ground for new doctrines and aircraft. As a result, the Luftwaffe grew to become one of the most sophisticated, technologically advanced and battle-experienced air forces in the world, when war began in Europe in 1939. By the summer of 1939, the Luftwaffe had twenty-eight Geschwaders (wings).
World War II (WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.

Germany's armed forces air arms during the First World War, the Luftstreitkräfte of the Military and also the Marine-Fliegerabteilung of the Navy, had actually been dissolved in 1920 as a result of the regards to the Treaty of Versailles which stated that Germany was forbidden to have any kind of flying force.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mhv Short overview on the major shortcomings and blunders of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) in World War 2. Taking at look at the initial situation and the various errors committed by its leadership, notably: doctrinal failure by not developing a fleet air arm, insufficient logistics, mismanagement in aircraft production, failure to support its coalition air forces (Finland, Hungary, Romania and Italy) and establishing a proper training system.

At the beginning of World War II, the Luftwaffe was the world's most advanced air force. With superior tactics, aircraft and training, it cut through the air forces of Poland and Western Europe in 1939 and 1940, and those of the Soviet Union in 1941. Despite this auspicious beginning, by 1945 the Luftwaffe was a dying force. The Allies were destroying German aircraft at unequal rates, and Luftwaffe aviators were dying in their thousands in an unbalanced battle to save Germany from destruction. The Luftwaffe's lack of a convincing long-range bomber force also meant that it could not return strategic devastation upon its enemies. In the words of one historian, the Luftwaffe had a 'strategy for defeat'.

De part ses choix tactiques et techniques, la Luftwaffe créa ses "AS". Le score très élevé des victoires de ces chasseurs s’explique par leur présence continuelle au front (contrairement à leurs homologues anglo-saxons) ; nombre de ces jeunes hommes combattirent dans des conditions extrêmes sur des théâtres de guerre éloignés, allant des sables d’Afrique à la toundra russe ou au cercle polaire. Les appareils qu’ils pilotèrent évoluèrent de manière vertigineuse en quelque six années. Un aviateur allemand pouvait ainsi débuter la guerre aux commandes d’un Messerschmitt 109 d’un premier type, la poursuivre dans un Focke-Wulf 190 à l’impressionnant moteur, puis la terminer quasiment à la vitesse du son dans un des premiers avions à réaction de l’histoire comme le Me 262 ou le He 162.
Writhe and cry as useless dogs, Having reached your
tether's end.
Decimate the common, for the common good.
It sickens to see all we have seen, mediocrity burns to
the ground.
The ink of perdition blots you out.
Solipsist Nation stamps you out.
Slathering animals to be put down.
The dish of your being licks itself clean.
All the failings of man, our patience is at an end.
We rewrite your sacred tomes, even god forgets who you
were.
Dabis Improbe Poenas!
Pray to the cross on the wall, but you will die for you
sins.
God may have written the book of life,
But we have written the end.
So few have been called along this way,
Only us you have never been.
The ink of perdition blots you out.
Solipsist Nation stamps you out.
Slathering animals to be put down.
The dish of your being licks itself clean.
All the failings of man, your history is at an end.
Your life and your lies aborted, you never were.
