luftwaffe

As someone that knows very little about military protocol, I'm looking for someone to explain the procedures/protocols that would take place when a Luftwaffe plane did not return to base. Let's say an NJG4 plane that did not return. Do they give it a few days? Is a report made and if so to whom...

Does a list exist of the symbols used to identify Luftwaffe Jagdgeschwader - e.g. S for Schlageter in the case of JG 26. I have looked at several books on Luftwaffe markings but not found such a list.

The FW 190 could carry a 300 Ltr. drop tank, that was pressurized by supercharger bleed air. Fuel was transferred from the drop tank to the (292 Ltr.) Rear Main Tank, when the quantity of that tank was below 240 Ltr. Otherwise it was inhibited by a float valve. An electrical pump was built into...

Hello. We really need drawings of the FW 200 C1 aircraft. Or more precisely, the location of the lines in the drawing. I searched on the Internet and basically there was only this drawing: But judging by historical photographs, these drawings are incorrect. Since they don't even have hatches...

This was my spouse’s grandfather. This photo has been in a frame since the end of the war. Up until last month, we didn’t even know his name. With the help of DNA testing we were able to determine he was Hans Karl Heinrich Henjes. He was born in Hannover on December 7, 1917. Based on my mother...

Happy new year all! Just scanned that one.... My apologies when post is redundant.

Hi All, Can anyone help identify this part please. I'm trying to identify where on the airframe this part lives (see photos). The part is stamped: R8.217.522.131.01. I believe this is from a Dornier 217. There is a further stamp on the right: 3506.0 XZ1. Any insight would be appreciated.

A propaganda film from the US AAF about the aerial war over western Europe. Plenty of combat footage, both air to air and ground strafing. Interestingly, mix some captured german footage of alarmstart and bomber a attacks. Some of the combat footage are pretty close strikes...

I'd like to know about this day's dogfights that at least 29 Me262s, or more than 30 Me262s, were shot down and Luftwaffe abandoned Berlin defense after this battle. I would appreciate it if you could provide any information, such as which FG participated in the battle against JG 7 and other...

Theoretically, is it possible that a Luftwaffe bomber (say, Heinkel or Junkers) to tune into BBC Radio when flying over the channel / over the UK in Battle of Britain era? If so, which radio would this be? And could the pilot tune into this too? Or only the RO?
