Publisher's Note
After World War II, when it became clear that continued friendly relations with the Soviet Union would not be possible and that there was a real possibility that war would break out between the United States and the Eastern Bloc, Western military leaders turned to the only source that had extensive experience fighting against the Red Army: the defeated German military.The German Luftwaffe was the only air force with extensive combat experience against the Soviet air forces. Illuminated by a vast collection of original source material, and now revised for brevity and clarity, this fascinating book was originally part of a U.S. Air Force historical project initiated after World War II to obtain a complete picture of Germany's war in the air. Here General Deichmann, one of the principal leaders of the Luftwaffe, describes the aerial combat, reconnaissance, and support operations that worked against the Russians and, just as important, those that failed. All phases of the Luftwaffe's organization and maneuvers are included--from its secret rebirth after World War I through its participation in the Spanish Civil War to its massive operations and final defeat in World War II.With eight pages of photographs.
During World War II, the German Luftwaffe was the only air force that had extensive practical knowledge of combat against the Soviet armed forces, engaging that opponent with a great deal of success until a combination of extreme weather, material shortages, and loss of experienced pilots, and Soviet aggressiveness and numerical superiority -- aggravated in the fall of 1943 by the withdrawal of German fighter units to defend the Reich -- turned the tide. By 1945, after a desperate transfer of some 600 aircraft to the Eastern Front, less than a thousand German fighters faced a Soviet force of 16,000 combat aircraft. Now, in a report based on his own extensive experience, General Paul Deichmann, former chief of Luftwaffe Command 4, evaluates the Luftwaffe's performance during World War II, with emphasis on the Eastern Front, devoting particular attention to aerial combat -- his is the fighter force of Gunther Rall, Walter Novotny, and Erich Hartmann -- reconnaissance, and support. In order to do this so that the reader will understand the evolution of the German airforce, Gert. Deichmann outlines the history of the Luftwaffe from its beginnings through the interwar period, the Spanish Civil War, and the early years of World War II on the Western Front. This is a brilliant discussion of what works and what doesn't in the modern air war, and time has not dimmed its luster at all
