Who were the top 10 Luftwaffe aces of WWII? What is the record?

Germany was strong in the early stage, and Britain was strong in the later stage.

Because the long-term blockade has made Germany's supplies ** strained, there are not so many resources to make aircraft.

When Europe entered the war, there were up to three hundred and seventy-five reconnaissance planes available. Germany had 180 aircraft suitable for observation missions, plus 300 trainers and 13 Zeppelins. The French had 27 flying squadrons and 220 pilots, but only 130, and the British 65.

The planes were not designed for military use, were unarmed, they were all made of wood and metal wire, and the wings and fuselage were covered with glued cloth. In 1915, the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Anthony Fountain, who worked for the Germans, perfected an invention by the French, which allowed the machine gun to fire synchronously through a rotating propeller. This invention produced revolutionary results:

A fighter in the true sense of the word was born. As a result, in October 1915, the two sides began to compete for air supremacy over the front line, and the air war developed rapidly. During the war, 50 models were produced in France.

51,000 aircraft, 92,000 engines; Germany produced more than 400 models, 48,000 aircraft, and 41,000 engines.

By the end of World War I, the British Air Force had 360,000 men, 200 active squadrons, and 30,000 aircraft, with a monthly loss rate of 66 percent.

The Luftwaffe has 4,050 aircraft and airships and more than 80,000 officers and soldiers, and the domestic factory still maintains an annual production capacity of 14,130 aircraft.

The German aircraft were more advanced, and the British Air Force had to lose four aircraft to shoot down a German aircraft.

World War I (English: World War I, WW I, Greatest War; World War I was a world war that took place between July 28, 1914 and November 11, 1918, mainly in Europe but throughout the world. Most of the countries of the world were involved in this war at that time.

Before the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the war was known as the "World War." Since the main battlefield was in Europe, the Chinese in the early 20th century was often called the "European War". The course of the war was mainly a battle between the Central and Entente powers.

World War 2, Nazi Germany.

Which air force is the strongest with the United Kingdom of Great Britain?

It should be said that the air force of Nazi Germany was more powerful and the pilots were more rigorous.

German aircraft.

The Luftwaffe was stronger than the British Air Force.

Germany only has medium bombers and no strategic bombers, mainly in the surrounding countries (except for Britain), basically tactical bombers are basically enough in terms of range and bomb load, followed by insufficient development resources, especially oil resources, and finally the industrial system, Germany cannot title the operation of all industrial systems. Another example is the German Navy, where large surface ships are far worse than Britain and the United States, and there is no aircraft carrier, and the submarine war finally ends in failure.

HE111 Of course, Germany also has doomsday equipment that stays on paper, and it can't be built without the support of resources.

It depends on what level you're referring to.

The Luftwaffe was very combat-ready, and it was needless to say that it had bombing capabilities.

But the command is very problematic, not to bomb something useful, retaliating for a long time to bomb London ......It can only be said that the tactical level is good, but the strategic level is not.

Then you have to see what kind of bombing, ordinary dive bombing, the Luftwaffe is certainly the best country in the world to do, there is no one.

Horizontal bombardment, it's all about the same.

However, because Germany did not have strategic bombers before the war because of the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty, large-scale strategic bombing was certainly inferior to that of Britain and the United States.

I know that "one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion". Does this make sense?

The German army in World War II was very strong, but in the middle and late stages of the war, it occupied too much land and the front was too long, especially after the capture of the Soviet Union, which was several times larger than Germany's land area, several times more population than Germany, and strong economic and military strength, Germany itself suffered huge losses, and the fighters were destroyed by the Soviet Army and shot down thousands of planes, and Germany's industrial production capacity could not keep up with the war losses. The Luftwaffe, of course, could not contend with it.

If at the beginning of World War II, Germany fought against the Anglo-American coalition, it is really difficult to say who won and who lost.

The strength of the Luftwaffe could be said to be the first in the world before 42,43 After the attrition of the home air defense and the Eastern Front, the strength of the Luftwaffe declined, and by 44 years, the Reich Air Force suffered heavy losses in the home defense war. At this time, the US Air Force was the first, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and Germany were about the same, and I preferred the German army second, because after all, the strength could not be fully utilized in a two-front battle. By 45, the situation was hopeless, and by this time the Imperial Air Force was almost non-existent.

But the Imperial Air Force has a series of super-aces that have shot down in the triple digits, leading the countries in jets. At the same time, the Imperial Air Force was an air force that performed purely tactical tasks and lacked strategic bombers.

Books about it can be seen that the attack height is 4000 meters; Death in the sky; Air battles on the Eastern Front in the MARS, and so on.

At the beginning of World War II, the Luftwaffe and the Army cooperated with each other, and it can be said that they were invincible in the world. Its air force is twice as powerful as that of the United Kingdom, and only second to the United States. But due to the lack of power.

The Battle of Britain, Hitler's command error, was heavily damaged by the British, and from then on, Germany lost air supremacy in the English Channel, that is to say, at this time the Luftwaffe went into decline, preparing the conditions for the landing of the Allied forces in the future

No, the Air Force of World War I and the Air Force of World War II were not in the same order of magnitude.

The main reason why the Luftwaffe did not see performance in World War II was because it was not a homegrown operation, and the main problem it faced was that the pilots parachuted and fell on someone else's turf after the plane was shot down. No matter how expensive an airplane is, it is not worth as much as pilot training. At the beginning of the war, the Sea Lion Project was launched with the British, mainly the Air Force to bomb the British, and many pilots fell on British soil instead of fighting on the mainland.

Secondly, in World War II, only Germany shot down more than 100 enemy planes, the ace pilot Messerschmidt BF-109 fighters, shot down 352 enemy planes, the ace pilot Major Walter Novotny shot down 258 enemy planes, and the Japanese ace shot down more than 90 planes. More than 40 American aces. The United States cherishes talents, and almost does not allow them to fly, and transfers them to the rear to train pilots, while Germany has no choice but to let these pilots take off non-stop, because there is no one.

During World War I, the Air Force was mostly used for reconnaissance. Calculate for yourself how strong the Luftwaffe was, after World War I, Germany was not allowed to have an air force, and Germany set up flying clubs to practice in other countries. In this way, only the Luftwaffe trained to shoot down more than 100 fighters.

The aircraft of the World War II period was Zenith technology in the eyes of World War I, how can this be compared. The Luftwaffe in World War II was bled to death by the B17, don't look at it as a bomber, it has 13 self-defense machine guns in a frenzy, and the sorties are overwhelming. The German BF109 is really catching chickens in the face of this situation.

Let whoever catches chickens, 100,000 bombers, this is to crush Germany by numbers and firepower

On May 10, 1940, the Battle of France began. In the Battle of France, the Anglo-French-Benelux coalition was defeated by the Germans, and the British fled back to their homeland in disarray. After the British fled back to their homeland, the Germans decided to take advantage of the victory and pursued them and formulated the "Sea Lion Plan" to land on the British mainland.

Ever heard of the "birds over the strait"? See Blitzkrieg issue 34.

Halder Buckhorn, Ghent Rohr, Otto Kittel, Walter Novotny, Wilhelm Butz, Erich Rudolfler, but the winner was the "Indestructible Pilot" King of Stukka: Hans-Ulrich Rudel, who completed a total of 2,530 combat missions. The corresponding RAF Colonel Jensen (1914-2001) won 38 air battles and the United States Richard Bang (1920-1945) won 40 air battles in the Pacific; Far behind the Germans.

Erich Hartmann – "Ace of Aces" First record shot down the Il-2 strike plane; , Hartman made 4 sorties a day and shot down 5 La-5 fighters; At the end of September, Hartmann shot down 115 enemy planes, breaking the record set by Modes for 100 enemy planes shot down and becoming a new one"Hero of the Air Force"。, he shot down the 150th, equalling the record set by Klupinski for 150; , which reached 202; , Hartman has shot down 250; up to 290 aircraft; , shot down the 352nd aircraft.
