Order of Battle: German Luftwaffe in World War 2

Germany's air force, the Luftwaffe, played a critical role in the Third Reich's victories in the early part of World War II, providing the airborne component of the German forces' irresistible Blitzkrieg (`lightning war') tactics that swept all armies before it from 1939 to 1942.

Forta aeriana germana, Luftwaffe, a jucat un rol critic in victoriile celui de-al treilea Reich din partea timpurie a celui de-al doilea razboi mondial, oferind componenta aeriana a irezistibilelor tactici Blitzkrieg („razboi fulger”) ale fortelor germane, care au maturat toate armatele dinaintea sa 1939-1942.
