Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Items from Wehrmacht Luftwaffe, the Air Force of Nazi Germany, on display in the World War II exhibition at the National Museum of the United States Air Force (NMUSAF) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base northeast of Dayton, Ohio. Photo taken by Logan Rickert in January 2022, originally published on Flickr.
By the fall of 1944, Luftwaffe (German Air Force) pilots faced the impossible task of defending Germany against the huge, escorted bomber formations of the USAAF by day and the Royal Air Force by night. By this time, many of its best fighter aces had been killed and replaced with inexperienced, poorly trained pilots.
    • Sterling silver goblet awarded by Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering to Lt H. Roeber on October 10, 1942 for 10 aerial victories.
