German Luftwaffe Paratroopers

What were the German Air Forces’ (Luftwaffe) aircraft divisions.?

Not the field divisions, paratrooper divisions, or antiaircraft divisions. The actual aircraft divisions themselves.

Airborne Divisions
In order to keep its existence secret, the first German airborne division was named as if a Flieger (“flier”) division in the series of Luftwaffe divisions that controlled air assets rather than ground troops:

7th Flieger Division (often translated 7th Air Division)

——————————————————————————–

The division was later reorganized to start a series of nominally airborne divisions. Though named Fallschirmjäger (“paratrooper”) divisions, most were not actually trained for airdrops, and in practice all operated as ordinary motorized infantry throughout their existence. The lower-numbered ones maintaned an élite status, but quality generally declined among the higher-numbered ones.

Arming the Luftwaffe $45 During World War II, aviation was among the largest industrial branches of the Third Reich. About 40 percent of total German war production, and two million people, were involved in the manufacture of aircraft and air force equipment. Based on German records, Allied intelligence reports, and eyewitness accounts, this study explores the military, political, scientific, and social aspects of Germany's wartime aviation industry: production, research and development, Allied attacks, foreign workers and slave labor, and daily life and working conditions in the factories. Testimony from Holocaust survivors who worked in the factories provides a compelling new perspective on the history of the Third Reich.

Its masterfully organized chapters detail, summarize, and evaluate every important strategy and campaign. Cajus Bekker has drawn on official German archives and collections, the combat journals and personal papers of leading officers, and the collated Luftwaffe war diaries, none of which have been published outside Germany, as well as interviews with hundreds of former German airmen.The result is a critical examination of the Luftwaffes development and command against the vivid background of World War IIs greatest air battles. While the author does full justice to the performance of German airmen, he does not embellish it. Thus his chronicle of the deadly struggle of these men is anything but a heroic saga; the exploits of the other side are treated with equal justice. Heroes and villains are not described or eulogized hereonly men fighting a war that most of them did not want. With over 100 photographs, numerous maps, and a complete index of personalities, The Luftwaffe War Diaries brings into stunning focus for now and all time the ironic triumph and inevitable tragedy of war.

Luftwaffe’s Blitz by Goss, Chris Edition ILL, 0 $28.99 Much has been written about the Blitz from a British perspective but The Luftwaffe’s Blitz tells the story from the viewpoint of the German aircrew involved, many of whom were shot down and taken prisoner. Using more than 30 first hand accounts and previously unpublished photos, The Luftwaffe’s Blitz details the Luftwaffe’s assault against the United Kingdom in 1941, covering the major attacks and those that occurred during the remaining months of that year. Integrated with accounts from the aircrew of RAF’s embryonic night fighter force as they fought against the Luftwaffe night after night in very difficult and sometimes primitive circumstances, this book provides a new perspective on the Blitz from the attacker’s point of view.

Foreign Planes in the Service of the Luftwaffe by Roba, Jean-Louis Edition , 0 $20.49 No airforce in the Second World War would make more use of captured planes than the Luftwaffe. With this in mind, Jean-Louis Roba has undergone a considerable amount of work in tracking down hundreds of aircraft used by the Luftwaffe and illustrating their uses, careers and eventual fates. The book examines the full history of foreign planes in the Luftwaffe, from its inception in the prewar years to the end of the Second World War. More than just an account of the Luftwaffe’s use of captured aircraft, the book debunks myths about how prepared the Germans were for war in 1939, and shows how important even such an unreliable source of supplies as captured planes would become to the Luftwaffe. Translated into English for the first time, Roba’s investigative work is supported by over a hundred pictures of the planes themselves, and gives a rare opportunity to see British and American planes repainted in German colors and symbols.
