	Feldgrau :: Luftwaffe - The Airforce 1935-1945
		The Luftwaffe consisted of air units that made up the majority of the German airforce, as well as Fallschrimjäger units, Luftwaffe Field Divisions, the elite Herman Göring ground formations, thousands of smaller anti-aircraft, engineer, communications and security units, and a fair number of Luftwaffe naval vessels and formations as well.

		The Luftwaffe had the ideal opportunity to test its pilots, aircraft and tactics in the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939, when the Condor Legion was sent to Spain in support of the anti-Republican government revolt led by Francisco Franco.
		The Luftwaffe was central to the German Blitzkrieg doctrine, as the close air support provided by Stuka dive bombers and an overwhelming force of tactical fighters were key to several early successes.
		No Luftwaffe aircraft were lost during the campaign, but the force's role proved to be controversial in Germany because of the strong pacifist sentiment still present in the population that is opposed to the use of force by Germany in international affairs.

	Luftwaffe Lessons Learned and Applied
		Luftwaffe doctrine presumed that the defense of the homeland would be the responsibility of the flak batteries.
		Thus, the Luftwaffe's overriding theory was "to employ maximum forces at the decisive point of the battle." [28] The course of the battle would necessarily dictate changes in both strategy and tactics, but this was something the Luftwaffe was prepared to do.
		Luftwaffe strategy for Weserübung (Exercise Weser), as the campaign against Norway and Denmark was code-named, was based on the same two principles that had dictated the course of action in Poland.

	Reviews of 'The Luftwaffe: Creating the Operational Air War, 1918-1940'
		The text notes that an advantage of the Shadow Luftwaffe was the close and effective cooperation between those who developed doctrine for the aerial war, those who developed and built weapons and prototypes and finally the actual producers of the weaponry.
		However, the core of the Luftwaffe's air defense doctrine remained an offensive air campaign in order that home defenses would not be put to the test.
		The one area in which the Allies succeeded in inhibiting the Luftwaffe was in limiting the German civil aviation industry's engine development programs; when the Luftwaffe went public there were very few engines to choose from and these were less-advanced than Allied models.

		The loss rate of Luftwaffe Starfighters was not all that extraordinary, since the Luftwaffe had suffered a 36 percent attrition rate with the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak, the Starfighter's immediate predecessor.
		The reason given for training Luftwaffe pilots in the USA rather than in Germany was that the clear air and good flying weather in the American Southwest was much more conducive to pilot training than was the often lousy weather of Northern Europe.
		Luftwaffe F-104G DA+102 (the third Lockheed-built Starfighter for the Luftwaffe, assigned to JBG 31) was modified for a series of zero-length launch (ZELL) tests in 1963 at Edwards AFB in California.

		The Heinkel He 219 "Uhu" (Owl) was considered one of the best night-fighters in the Luftwaffe's inventory, yet, thankfully for the Allies, not enough of them were built to stem the tide of bombers, which became effective at using strips of aluminum foil called "Window" (more commonly, "chaff") to jam the radar screens.

	Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe by Raymond F. Toliver, ISBN: 0816857903 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The authors seem to believe that every Luftwaffe experte was the perfect specimen of a man. In their efforts to romanticise these people, I believe they do the pilots and themselves an injustice.
		The protagonists are presented in a very idealized manner, and there is very little recognition of the fact that they were fighting for one of the most detestable regimes in all of history.
		Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe is slightly sycophantic at times, but nevertheless has stood for decades as the definitive and most thoroughly detailed guide to Germany's WWII fighter aces.

		In the first three chapters, Cooper quickly surveys the prewar period and concludes that the Luftwaffe of 1939 was a tactical air force largely because of the technological and economic realities of the period.
		Cooper notes with approval the Luftwaffe’s decisions to skip development of the first generation of heavy bombers in favor of an advanced bomber and the interim solution of dive-bombing.

		The campaign to remove Major Walter Nowotny's remains from the city's Central Cemetery and move them to a pauper's plot has been led by the grandson of a British RAF pilot who was shot down over Belgium in 1940 and died of his injuries.

	FLUG REVUE November 1997: Luftwaffe chief-off-staff on the future plans
		The fall of the Berlin Wall brought a time of change to the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) which, in its complexity and significance, can doubtlessly be compared to the beginning years of the German forces after the Second World War.
		In spite of the recent years' decreasing resources, we were able to maintain the core capabilities of the Luftwaffe's defence tasks, both nationally and within the alliance, as well as, adapt to the accomplishment of an expanded task catalogue.
		I am convinced that each Luftwaffe individual will continue to work with engagement and spirit in the "Team Luftwaffe" and make sure that this will continue to be the trade mark for the reliability and efficiency of the Luftwaffe.

		Considered by G ring to be among the elite of the Luftwaffe, the Zerst rer were deployed in the Battle of Britain, in the Balkans, North Africa and in the East, where Zerst rergruppen accounted for significant numbers of Russian aircraft destroyed on the ground and in the air.
