The Luftwaffe (Lit. "air-force" or "air-weapon") was the name of the German military branch dedicated to dealing with matters of airborne weaponry. Formed in 1935, it quickly became known for its high technological superiority over other western air powers, the expertise of its men, and the ruthlessness of its tactics. Headed by Reichsmarshal Hermann Göring, it was instrumental in securing major German victories at the onset of World War II, and continued to provide a determined defense for the Third Reich until the later stages of the war.

| - The Luftwaffe (Lit. "air-force" or "air-weapon") was the name of the German military branch dedicated to dealing with matters of airborne weaponry. Formed in 1935, it quickly became known for its high technological superiority over other western air powers, the expertise of its men, and the ruthlessness of its tactics. Headed by Reichsmarshal Hermann Göring, it was instrumental in securing major German victories at the onset of World War II, and continued to provide a determined defense for the Third Reich until the later stages of the war. Although primarily responsible for the operation of all German military aviation, the Luftwaffe also provided other air-related assets, which are now available to the Panzer Elite field commander. Luftwaffe Ground Forces, expert engineers knowledgeable in the construction and repair of anti-aircraft defenses, can be fielded for a modest sum. They can construct both the rapid-firing Flakvierling 38 20mm AA quad-cannon emplacement, and the fearsome 88mm Flak 36 - a weapon that performs even better at blowing up tanks than it does at shooting down aircraft. Both these emplacements can be used to defend Panzer Elite territory, but the 88mm Flak 36 is also an important offensive weapon with a massive attack range. Furthermore, the Luftwaffe Tactics company has access to a powerful anti-infantry tank called the Wirbelwind Flakpanzer, essentially a Flakvierling 38 Quad Cannon mounted in a Panzer IV chassis. Additionally, Luftwaffe forces include the elite Fallschirmjäger Squad, one of the best infantry units in the game, which can suddenly appear behind enemy lines to carry all sorts of destructive actions. Naturally, the Luftwaffe can also provide two different kinds of air support to assist in ground operations. First of these is the Butterfly Bomb drop, which will cover a small area with anti-infantry mines, preventing free movement by enemy infantry through a passageway or towards a Strategic Point. Finally, a patrol group of Henschel Hs 129 ground-attack aircraft can be called in to decimate enemy armored columns with their airborne PaK 40 automatic anti-tank cannons. The varied and balanced nature of these abilities allows a Luftwaffe Tactics commander to perform all sorts of unique combat operations. He can surprise his enemies effectively, and put in powerful firepower to use on the field whenever necessary.
