What happened to the Luftwaffe? | Aerial warfare on D-Day
The Allies knew that the Normandy landings would be an era defining moment. Succeed and victory in the war was surely theirs. Fail, and the consequences could be catastrophic. Thus, well before D-Day took place, the Allies planned to use their Air Power to the set the stage for the landings.
In the last episode of our D-Day series we covered the fighting at Sea. This time IWM curator Hattie Hearn looks at the aerial battle for Normandy. How did the Allies win air superiority? Where was the German response to D-Day? And how did Allied air power affect the fighting on the ground?
