Nazi Germany’s
dreaded air force
T
oday, perhaps nothing has become
more iconic of World War II’s aerial
assault than the sound of the Stuka dive
bomber’s wailing sirens. The mechanical,
gradually increasing scream – with the biblical
nickname ‘Jericho trumpet’ – was designed
to strike fear into the hearts of those on the
ground before the
bombs rained down
on them.
The siren’s
psychological
effect on the enemy
diminished over
time, and its use
was discontinued in
favour of reducing air resistance on the plane.
But the Luftwaffe, the air force of the
German armed forces, was a terrifying
machine in its day – even without the fatal
sirens. Flying steel formations with rumbling
engines, clattering machine guns and
autocannons, massive bombing raids and
swastika tail fins spread death and destruction
on all fronts during the war. In this special
magazine, we tell the story of the birth, rise
and fall of the Luftwaffe. Read all about the
Junkers Ju 87 Stuka, Messerschmitt Bf 109
and other famous aircraft models, and the
pilots who flew them.
“It was
designed to
strike fear
in those on
the ground”
Enjoy the issue!
