The War File: German Bombers - The Luftwaffe's Weakest Link

Though many factors led to the Nazi defeat in World War II, some particularly unusual elements were key deficiencies in the Luftwaffe (or German Air Force) - such as Hitler's failure to invest in long-range, four-engine bombers. It took the Nazis' opponents some time to recognize and acknowledge such weaknesses, masked as they were by the Blitzkrieg successes, but they remained unaddressed for long enough that the Allies managed to successfully turn the tide. This history-themed documentary set discusses the Luftwaffe inadequacies in great detail. Subtopics include the Focke-Wulf Fw200, the Heinkel He 111, the Battle of Britain and much more.
