The Air Force [Luftwaffe]
The
Nazis capitalized on the offensive and defensive capabilities
of aviation. The potential of airpower was quickly recognized,
and the Luftwaffe (Air Force) was established as
a separate branch of the Armed Forces. Hitler, in an attempt
to develop the embryonic Luftwaffe to the maximum
extent consistent with the state of the art, designated
World War I fighter ace Hermann Göring
as both Commander in Chief of the Air Force and Minister
of Aviation. In the latter role, Göring
was a member of the Cabinet and was responsible for coordinating
and supervising all civil air matters. As the Commander
in Chief of the Air Force, Reichsmarshal Göring
was made responsible for the administration, training, development,
procurement, and maintenance of the entire Luftwaffe.
Göring
organized his new command into two major sections, the command
section (responsible for tactical operations) and the air
ministry section (responsible for the maintenance of the
Air Force's personnel and equipment and for the control
of every aspect of civil and commercial aviation). The Luftwaffe
was to play a very significant role throughout World War
II. For more information click
