Exposing the Nazi War Crimes of the Luftwaffe During World War II

In the ominous skies over Europe, as World War II’s storm clouds gathered, there loomed a symbol of fear and destruction: the Luftwaffe, Nazi Germany’s formidable air force. Founded in 1935, under the menacing shadow of Hermann Göring, this aerial juggernaut played a pivotal role in the blitzkrieg tactics that swept across the continent. But it was in the skies above cities like London, during the harrowing period of the Blitz in 1940, where the Luftwaffe left its most indelible and ruthless mark. Imagine the deafening roar of Messerschmitt fighters and Heinkel bombers as they rained down fire and brimstone, turning night into day with their incendiary payloads. The Luftwaffe, in its relentless pursuit of dominance, not only bombarded military targets but also unleashed terror on civilian populations, over 20,000 civilians perished under the relentless bombardment. Cities crumbled under their wrath; Coventry and London, including the iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral, was engulfed in flames
