Hitler's Luftwaffe
When Hitler gave him the task of building a new Luftwaffe in 1934, Hermann Goering based all his plans on Blitzkrieg - the need for dive bombers and medium bombers to support armoured forces in a series of lightning wars. Little consideration was given to what might be needed if an enemy failed to collapse swiftly. When Britain fought on and the Russians pulled their industry bath deep into their heartland, the Luftwaffe found that its lath of long-range heavy bombers meant it could no longer strike back effectively.
The Pilot who Bombed LondonIn the summer of 1940, the Luftwaffe seemed to be winning the Battle of Britain with its attacks on RAF fighter bases. Then one pilot, off course and confused, dropped his bombs on London. The British retaliated and so began the Blitz and the bombing offensive that eventually devastated Germany. It is a classic example of how a seemingly minor error can have monumental consequences. - Directors:
