Summary
Written by British intelligence officers in 1948, this volume offers an insider's view of Germany's extraordinary military machine. Drawing upon records and documents captured from the Luftwaffe archives and elsewhere, it describes the Air Force's principal campaigns, achievements and operational problems, as well as the political tensions that ultimately became its undoing. It also explores the powerful personalities behind the service, especially the relationship between Hitler and Goering and the impact on the Luftwaffe of the German Supreme Command.--National Archives description
