Who wiped out the main forces of the Luftwaffe

Let's put it this way, the number of German fighters under Kozhdub, the ace of the Soviet Air Force, is simply not worth mentioning in the Luftwaffe. The Germans shot down more than a dozen pilots with more than 300 planes, and most of these achievements were achieved on the Eastern Front, so it can be said that the Soviet Air Force was completely inferior in front of the Luftwaffe. Therefore, it was impossible for the USSR to destroy the main forces of the Luftwaffe.

The Luftwaffe attrition was mainly due to ground attrition and depreciation. The number shot down was less than 20% of the total losses of fighters.

As for the question "I know that the German Air Force was transferred to the east in the early days of the Soviet-German war, and after 1943 its strength in Western Europe gradually increased, while the Eastern Front gradually decreased, and after 1944 the Soviet-German front aircraft were actually fewer than those in both German and Western Europe", the Luftwaffe ace Erich. According to Hartmann's biography, the Luftwaffe was in a situation where the number of fighters between the eastern and western fronts was at the same time, so the ratio of the number of fighters between regions could not be explained. In fact, in addition to the Sea Lion plan to attack the United Kingdom, which lost a large number of the main forces of the Luftwaffe, the Luftwaffe had a great advantage before the P51 entered the European theater in large numbers.

Therefore, the German air force basically did not have to be wiped out, and as for the quantitative ratio of the number of air losses and time, the largest was the British theater, followed by the home defense, and then the Western Front after the Normandy landings.

The Luftwaffe's losses had little to do with the Soviet battlefield, mainly in the Battle of Britain and later in the defense against British and American strategic air raids.

Since the Luftwaffe concentrated its main forces on the Eastern Front during the war, most of them can be considered solved by the Soviet Air Force. Of course, the strategic bombing of the Allies on the Western Front, which also paralyzed Germany's fuel**, was also a factor that could not be ignored. These problems are often not caused by a single factor.

1 sentence, the Germans cannot afford to fight a war of attrition! If we insist on saying who will destroy it, we can only say that the motors of German industry are not as fast as those of the United States! All equipment, personnel replenishment, and logistics support can be used in this sentence!

Allied air raids knocked out most of Germany's aircraft factories and repair plants. Coupled with the slow losses in the air battle, it was finally wiped out.

It's basically organic nobody, no people, no oil, and that's it, but it's basically not annihilation.

It seems that it will not work at the time of the Anglo-German air battle.

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

In the early stage of World War II, Germany can be said to be a great force on the European battlefield, almost sweeping the whole of Europe, many people have a very deep impression of Germany's blitzkrieg, but they don't know much about the German Air Force, so that many people think that the Luftwaffe is average.

In fact, the Luftwaffe was called the "Black Death" by Europe in the early stage of World War II, and from this title, the Luftwaffe definitely has the combat effectiveness of the air forces of European countries, so why does the Luftwaffe seem to be not strong during World War II? In fact, the main reason is that in the Battle of Britain, Germany lost too much air power, how miserable was the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain? Almost wiped out their reserves.

Many people know that France built the Maginot Line in World War II to prevent Germany from attacking France again and bringing huge losses to France, but what France did not expect was that Germany actually bypassed the Maginot Line and went directly into the heart of France, and France surrendered overnight. After the capture of France, Germany, which had more than 5,000 aircraft at the time, continued to suppress and attack British airfields and radar stations, in an attempt to force the British Royal Air Force and the Luftwaffe to fight a decisive battle. However, Hitler at that time issued a big order, requiring the air force to bomb British cities directly, which made the situation 180 degrees reversed.

Although Germany already had more than 5,000 aircraft before the start of the Battle of Britain, we must know that the Luftwaffe had only been established for five years at this time, so in order to quickly have a formed combat capability, many of Germany's aircraft were bombers, and the air combat capability was limited. As the main fighter, the BF-109 does not have a relatively strong endurance, so when it flies over the UK, the BF-109 fighter can fight for less time, and it is not at all as good as those British fighters that take off from home. As a result, many bombers were attacked by the British Royal Air Force when they were on duty, and even many bombers had to rely on their own firepower systems to resist, so that in the Battle of Britain, Germany lost 1,887 aircraft.

In fact, the loss of aircraft was not the most serious blow to the Luftwaffe, the most important thing was that in this battle, Germany sacrificed more than 4,000 pilots, many of whom were even instructors and cadets of German flight cadets, so that after this battle, Germany had a pilot fault line. Although in later years, Germany began to build a large number of pilot cadets, but pilots were not so easy to train, so the Luftwaffe never regained its former glory.

There are too many pilots who have sacrificed, nearly 4,000, and even many of them are instructors and students, after all, it is not easy to train a pilot, and it is not possible to train it in a while.

Because Germany is very lacking**, resulting in a lack of fuel for aircraft and other equipment, and a lack of training for pilots. As a result, the Battle of Britain almost wiped out the German pilots.

Because the strength of the Luftwaffe during World War II was a bit backward, it was normal to look at the humble country but it was very strong.

The Luftwaffe was practically depleted, the objectives and opponents he had to accomplish were much stronger than him, and he was gradually exhausted.

First of all, the Luftwaffe was a tactical air force from the beginning to the end, unable to strike at the enemy's deep areas and weaken the enemy's war potential.

At the time of the Sea Lion Project, the bitter fruit was suffered for the first time, and Germany was unable to eliminate the British Northern Aircraft Factory, unable to weaken the British potential, and finally the battle attempt failed.

This is the case in Operation Barbarossa, in which case you can only keep fighting with your opponent.

In the process of fighting consumption, due to the lack of fuel, the training could not keep up, the vacancies of pilots in the later stage continued to increase, the novices became worse and worse, and the veterans continued to consume.

U.S. planes are constantly striking Germany's industrial centers and oil refineries, further exacerbating the problem.

After the Normandy landings, the Allies landed on the European continent and completely crushed the Luftwaffe with their numerical superiority.

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.
