Aces of the Luftwaffe - Germany's Greatest Pilots

At the end of World War I, the German military machine lay devastated, forbidden any attempt to rebuild. But by the dawn of World War II, its army and air forces had both been rejuvenated to sufficient vigor to conquer most of Europe. One of Germany’s biggest strengths was its growing military might in the air. Well trained pilots stepped forward and dared to enter the battlefield no matter the cost. These aces, such as Erich Hartmann, racked up countless kills and dominated the skies with superior tactics and firepower.
