WWII Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe

  In my Blogg FlygSpectum you will find some of the greatest Aces in WWI II that flew for The Allies. Check older Items.

But, there were  also great aces that flew for Germany, don´t forget that.

They are not very often mentioned in  the Flighthistory for some resons, often political, maybe?

 Have in mind that Germany was in war under a dictatorship lead by Adolf Hitler and his Naziparty.

I will not go into questions in how this political lunacy became real and ended with a World War that finally was won by the Allies. There are tons of books to read , films to study about this subject instead.

But as the German Wehrmacht (The Air Force, The Army and The Navy) was under direct command under Adolf Hitler and his nazis they also became a tool for his struggle to become "The Third Reich". Tools like The Waffen-SS and Gestapo kept the German people and soldiers in an irongrip.

One can always discuss how many of these soldiers were nazis, and how many of them just did their duty to their "Fatherland"..?

   At the beginning of the end if the war when the victories of the allied troops became overwhelming, there is no doubt that more and more of the Generals of The Wermacht realized that this enemy he was forced to fight against,  was in fact too powerfull to be defeated. Some pilots could even sense that already in the beginning of the war.

In the Luftwaffe I´m sure that both pilots and senior officers and ace-pilots saw this, but were given no or very little  response of the higher commands in the Naziparty or Hitler himself, what so ever, to make some clever changes to do so, albeit they had skills and the technologies for new airplanes and weapons. But The German Luftwaffe had aces too.

A Good and Intresting film, and gives you some aspects of WW II and The German pilots that you seldom hear.

(There somethings wrong with the sound in the film; sometimes and occationally it drops in speed, just for a short time, there is nothing wrong with your computer)
