Eagles of the Third Reich: Men of the Luftwaffe in World War II: Stackpole Military History Series softcover
Character-based study of why the German Air Force was defeated. Recounts the Luftwaffe in combat from the blitzkrieg of 1939-40 and the Battle of Britain to the Eastern Front and the Normandy campaign, from its secret post-World War I beginnings to its virtual destruction by the Allied air forces. The story of the German air force is best told by examining its leaders-brilliant, ambitious, ruthless, and deceitful men like Hermann Goering, the drug-addicted Luftwaffe commander; Erhard Milch, the half-Jewish head of aircraft production; and Adolf Galland, the general of fighters who often clashed with Goering. Mitcham profiles them and others while describing the Luftwaffe's battles-both in the skies and behind the scenes-and explaining why it was so decisively defeated.
