The Luftwaffe:

The Luftwaffe was established on February 26, 1935. The Luftwaffe was Germany’s Air Force during WWII. As an act of protest against the Treaty of Versailles, Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party, established various paramilitary groups like the SS, the SA, and the Gestapo.

The Luftwaffe was one of these paramilitary groups, with its primary purpose being to fight in the air. Hermann Göering, Reich Minister of Economics, established the Luftwaffe with Hitler’s orders. Hitler, like said earlier, recreated the Luftwaffe in protest of the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles disbanded the Luftstreitskräfte in May of 1920, due to the requirement of no air force in Germany.

During the interwar period of time in WWII, German pilots were secretly trained at the Lipetsk Soviet base, violating the requirements of the treaty. With the Nazi Party's awakening, the Luftwaffe was openly acknowledged for its existence, being officially established on the 29th of February, 1935, shortly before German rearmament would be used for open defiance against the treaty.

By the beginning of the war, the Luftwaffe had 28 divisions, one of which was a somewhat paratrooper force called the Fallschirmjäger. Like the Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe had various appearances and purposes in battle. They were responsible for The Battle of Britain, or as some people call it,” The Blitz” as a name to signify the Blitzkrieg tactic used by early Prussians and by the Nazis.

Also similar to the Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe was very advanced in technology after Nazi Germany recently dissolved the Treaty of Versailles. The Luftwaffe was disbanded after WWI, due to the Treaty of Versailles.

The Luftwaffe was reestablished by Adolf Hitler. Over the years of the Third Reich, the army of Nazi Germany continued to advance devastatingly. With the creation of the Messerschmitt 262, the world’s first jet fighter of the Modern Age. Along with the creation of the Tiger II tank, also one of Germany’s military monstrosities. The famous sound of a dive bomber was found in the devastating roar of a Stuka’s engine, which was considered “The Sound of Death” during WWII in places like Stalingrad.

It wasn’t until after WWII that Germany’s military was completely disbanded and taken over by the Allies, which consisted of the U.S.A., the U.S.S.R., the U.K., and France.
