Deutsche Zivilluftfahrt im Zweiten Weltkrieg

German civil aviation during World War II was heavily influenced by politics and the war economy. With the outbreak of war in 1939, civil air traffic was officially almost completely shut down, as resources were diverted to the military. Lufthansa and manufacturers like Junkers served the Wehrmacht with transport and logistics tasks. Despite material shortages, air raids, and international isolation, civil flight operations continued, albeit on a limited scale. This book illuminates this little-known aspect of aviation with original documents, largely unpublished photographs, and eyewitness accounts—a must-read for aviation enthusiasts.
