The Luftwaffe was one of the three main components of the Wehrmacht, the other two being the Heer and the Kriegsmarine. The Luftwaffe was formally created in 1935 and was the Airforce of Nazi Germany. By the beginning of the Second World War, the Luftwaffe was arguably the best air force in the world. However, during the Battle of Britain, the Luftwaffe was unable to beat the British into submission.
By 1945, the Luftwaffe was overwhelmed by the Allies’ superior numbers and improved tactics, while the Luftwaffe lacked trained pilots and aviation fuel. The Luftwaffe was disbanded in 1946.
