Hitler's War Machine: Luftwaffe

Season 1 · Episode 3

This special collection shines the spotlight on the Axis weapons and technology of WWII, on land, sea and air. We begin with a closer look at how the speed and firepower of Germany's devastating Panzer tanks dominated the battlefields of WWII and revolutionised military strategy, before moving on to examine the crucial role of the Nazi Luftwaffe, the airbourne fighting force under the command of Hitler's right-hand man, Hermann Goering. As the military arm responsible for the Blitz bombing raids on Britain, evidence of the destructive power of the Luftwaffe can still be seen today. From the many aircraft at their disposal to the pilots themselves, we look at what made the Luftwaffe such a formidable fighting force. Finally, take to the water and discover the fascinating truth behind the ferocious 'wolf packs' of German U-Boats that prowled the waters of the Atlantic in search of enemy shipping.
