Luftstreitkräfte

The Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte ("German Air Force"), known before October 1916 as Die Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches ("Imperial German Flying Corps"), or simply Die Fliegertruppen, was the air arm of the Imperial German Army during World War I (1914–1918). In English language sources it is usually referred to as the "Imperial German Air Service", although that is not a literal translation of either name. German naval aviators remained an integral part of the Kaiserliche Marine. Both the army and navy operated conventional aircraft, balloons and Zeppelins.

The Luftstreitkräfte arose from the Great War, as reconnaissance aircraft quickly started taking on combat roles. They shipped plans for their fighter planes like the Albatros across the Atlantic to the US to help their allies. They also maid many raids on England using Zeppelins, although these were nothing more than nuance raids. When the war ended, the Luftstreitkräfte failed to play a decisive roll in the war.

When was broke out again in 1941, the Luftstreitkräfte was forced onto the defensive against the RAF and FAF, but the RAF was the most dangerous foe. In the East, the Luftstreitkräfte enjoyed far better combat conditions against the Russians, bombing many Russian cities after defeating them in Poland and the Ukraine.

in 1943, as the tide of the war turned, the Luftstreitkräfte began to retaliate against the British after they liberated the Netherlands by using bases there to bomb British cities. These raids increased as they moved into Belgium, while the French were no longer able to prevent the Germans from pounding their cities, particularly Paris.

As the war drew to a close, the Luftstreitkräfte was used to deliver Germany's first Atomic Bomb against the Russian capital of Petrograd. After France refused to give up, the Luftstreitkräfte then dropped another on Paris.

After the RAF dropped an atomic bomb on Hamburg, the Luftstreitkräfte struck back with a massive raid on England. This was a disguise as they snuck in 3 atomic bombs of their own, bombing London, Brighton and Norwich. The RAF attempted to retaliate but the Luftstreitkräfte was too strong, and their new Jet fighters were able to shoot down the British bomber carrying the deadly super weapon.
