Defeat of the Luftwaffe
In 1939 and 1940 the Nazi blitzkrieg crushed Poland and the Low Countries and France. On the ground the new panzer divisions symbolised this combat revolution, and in the air its symbol was the all-conquering Luftwaffe with its fleets of Stuka dive bombers. This was a new type of warfare with air and ground forces working hand-in-glove and sweeping away all resistance.
Within weeks they had destroyed thousands of Red Air Force planes and ruled the skies. When Hitler looked further east in 1941, the Luftwaffe turned with him, spearheading the largest invasion in world history as the Wehrmacht launched Operation Barbarossa to annihilate Stalin's Soviet Union. Yet less than four years later that same Red Air Force was flying unopposed over Hitler's burning Reich Chancellery in Berlin and his much-vaunted Luftwaffe lay in utter ruins.
