Propaganda Postcards of the Luftwaffe focuses on the efforts of the
powerful Nazi propaganda machine to promote the technical achievements
and might of the then newly created German airforce. The Luftwaffe had
been announced to the world in March 1935, despite the restrictions
contained in the Versailles Treaty signed after the First World War
denying Germany the right to develop military aircraft. All major
aircraft types used by the Luftwaffe together with many lesser known,
obscure and secondary types are represented in this book. There is a
section covering the main figures of the Luftwaffe and the leading
aces who flew the aircraft. The German Air and Propaganda ministries
worked together and, using professional photographers produced quality
images, which were then made available to the general public in an
attempt to inspire the nation and create strong moral.
