Die Deutschen Flugzeuge 1933-1945 is a landmark reference in aviation history, authored by Karlheinz Kens and Heinz J. Nowarra and published by J.F. Lehmann in Munich in 1961. With roughly 816 pages and an extraordinary 693 photographs and illustrations, this volume offers one of the most comprehensive overviews ever compiled on German aircraft development during the Third Reich and World War II.
The book provides detailed entries for a wide range of aircraft, from fighters, bombers, reconnaissance planes to gliders and prototype designs. Kens and Nowarra combine technical data (e.g., dimensions, performance, armament) with historical contextexplaining how each aircraft fit into Germany's aviation strategy and wartime needs. What makes the book especially valuable is its balanced approach: the authors do not glorify war, but present developments "nüchtern und objektiv" (soberly and objectively), documenting technological achievement without sensationalism.
This edition is a must-have for aviation historians, model makers, military collectors and serious bibliophiles. Its deep photographic documentation, technical rigor, and historical breadth make it a lasting reference. Whether you're researching Luftwaffe history, collecting books on WWII aircraft, or simply fascinated by aeronautic design, Die Deutschen Flugzeuge 1933-1945 is both authoritative and visually arresting.
