Short overview on the major shortcomings and blunders of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) in World War 2. Taking at look at the initial situation and the various errors committed by its leadership, notably: doctrinal failure by not developing a fleet air arm, insufficient logistics, mismanagement in aircraft production, failure to support its coalition air forces (Finland, Hungary, Romania and Italy) and establishing a proper training system.
