A historian analyzes Nazi Germany’s air force during its final year before Allied forces brought an end to World War II in Europe.

The Last Year of the Luftwaffe is the story of a once all-conquering force struggling to stave off an inevitable and total defeat. This book gives a complete account of Luftwaffe operations during the last twelve months of the fighting in Europe—including the dramatic Bodenplatte (or “Baseplate”) offensive over the Ardennes in December, 1944.

In this comprehensive examination of Hitler’s air force, Dr. Alfred Price examines its state from May, 1944, to May, 1945, analyzing not only the forces available to it, but also the likely potential, and impact, of new aircraft and weapons systems.

This is a short book that provides very basic information about the Luftwaffe: organization, infrastructure in Germany, principal aircraft, personnel, and uniforms. The length of this book does not permit a deep dive into any particular aspect of the Luftwaffe; however, it does have some lesser-published photographs. Not as detailed as other books of this type covering American services during World War II.
