The Luftwaffe War Diaries
By Cajus Bekker
Archival Summary & Scope
A gripping and contentious history, The Luftwaffe War Diaries remains the definitive account of the German air force from the perspective of the men who flew its missions. Utilizing official archives, personal journals, and previously unpublished war diaries, Cajus Bekker provides a critical examination of German air power—from the initial Blitzkrieg on Poland to the final, desperate defense of the Reich.Avoiding the trappings of a "heroic saga," Bekker delivers a dispassionate evaluation of strategy and command, treating both German airmen and their Allied counterparts with equal justice. Accompanied by extensive maps and photographs, this work offers an unembellished look at the technical triumphs and ultimate tragedy of the Luftwaffe.
