DESCRIPTION:
Very Insightful. Here is a former Nazi obviously disillusioned by the Nazi regime. Could it be that he is also propagandizing for the USA. His knowledge of the inside workings of the Nazi regime and his acquaintance with individuals in it is extraordinary. It is interresting to see how self interested individuals even in the Nazi party can wreak destruction form within.
The Nazi regime designed its airforce for Blitzkrieg, and Blitzkrieg alone. When long campaigns set in in Russia, North Africa and Western Europe, the collapse of the Luftwaffe became inevitable. During the invasion of Poland, 2,500 aircraft were lost on account of a failure to produce any spare parts. "The Luftwaffe - the German Air Force - will no longer have a decisive influence on the outcome of World War II, no matter how long it takes to beat Hitler. We will hear a lot. But don't let us be deceived. Crammed full of fascinating detail, this prescient book shows how German efficiency was fatally paralyzed by the dead-hand of the corrupt Nazi Party. No matter what happens, the Luftwaffe can never be used as a strategic first-line weapon
