Driven by the new strategy of Blitzkrieg  or lightening war  in a very short time it stormed across Europe. Opposing air forces were swept aside as the Luftwaffe blasted a path for the Panzers and protected their flanks as they raced for the sea. Flushed with victory  its formidable reputation apparently justified  the Luftwaffe regrouped in occupied Western Europe for a final showdown with its one remaining enemy v Britain. Supremely confident  the odds seemed to be on their side. But in the summer of 1940 they suffered a dramatic defeat during the Battle of Britain  and by May 1945 the Germans had surrendered to the Allies and the Third Reich collapsed. What went wrong? How could things have been different? What if Goering  the brilliant yet flawed Luftwaffe commander  had died prematurely in September 1940? What radical alterations in the pattern of command would have transpired? What if Luftwaffe strategic bomber force had become a reality? In this engagingly written and thought-provoking addition to the fascinating Greenhill alternate history series  aviation historian Mike Spick asks these very questions  envisaging a dramatic alternate reality in which the Luftwaffe succeed in defeating Allied forces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648112877621,"sku":"ByrdShop_185367611X","price":27.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781853676116.jpg?v=1781709742","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/luftwaffe-victorious-an-alternate-history-9781853676116","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
