Size: 8 x 11 inches This original 1943 dated WWII German Luftwaffe mini-map was professionally preserved and removed from a rough and decaying German Luftwaffe pilot’s pocket map booklet. Usually kept and stored in the inside jacket pocket of a Luftwaffe pilot or crew, these mini-maps were compiled into one single booklet and wereconstructed and meant to be used for both informational, navigational, and survival purposes.This mini-map booklet was distributed to Luftwaffe pilots and crew members stationed and fighting all over the European theater including Germany, France, Africa, Italy, etc. These maps were meant to be utilized anywhere a Luftwaffe soldier would be stationed and are just smaller versions of the larger Luftwaffe maps. This map features some of the most famous geographical landscapes of World War II of France. This two-page Luftwaffe map section shows the Normandy coastline of D-Day, the English Channel, London, and all of England. WWII and the Luftwaffe: TheLuftwaffe was theaerial warfarebranch of theWehrmachtduringWorld War II. TheLuftwaffeproved instrumental in the German victories across Poland andWestern Europein 1939 and 1940. During theBattle of Britain, however, despite inflicting severe damage to theRAF\'s infrastructure and, duringthe subsequent Blitz, devastating many British cities, the German air force failed to batter the beleaguered British into submission. From 1942, Allied bombing campaigns gradually destroyed theLuftwaffe\'s fighter arm. From late 1942, theLuftwaffeused its surplus ground support and other personnel to raiseLuftwaffeField Divisions. In addition to its service inthe West, theLuftwaffeoperated over the Soviet Union, North Africa, and Southern Europe. Despite its belated use of advanced turbojet and rocket-propelled aircraft forthe destruction of Allied bombers, theLuftwaffewas overwhelmed by the Allies\' superior numbers and improved tactics, and a lack of trained pilots and aviation fuel. In January 1945, during the closing stages of theBattle of the Bulge, theLuftwaffemade a last-ditch effort to win air superiority and met with failure. With rapidly dwindling supplies ofpetroleum, oil, and lubricantsafter this campaign, and as part of the entire combinedWehrmachtmilitary forces as a whole, theLuftwaffeceased to be an effective fighting force.
