Podcasts about Luftwaffe

H.W. Brands describes how, during the summer of 1940, as London burned under the Luftwaffe's terror weapons, Roosevelt made the historic decision to seek a third term. He used "Rooseveltian misdirection" to freeze out potential Democratic successors like James Farley and John Nance Garner, eventually engineering a "draft" of himself based on the international emergency. Lindbergh and other skeptics saw this as a move toward a presidency for life, with Lindbergh accurately predicting Roosevelt would run for a fourth term and die in office. To formalize the opposition, the America First Committee was formed under General Robert Wood of Sears Roebuck, with Lindbergh serving as its star speaker. Lindbergh enjoyed massive media support and funding, delivering rallies that drew thousands while Roosevelt campaigned on promises that "your son will not die in a foreign war." The debate became increasingly personal, with Senator Burton Wheeler suggesting that every fourth American son would be "plowed into the ground" if the country intervened. Roosevelt, a master of press conferences, used his "slippery" instincts to treat reporters as adjuncts to his administration, planting ideas to see how they would be received by the public. Despite Lindbergh's constant radio messages that the U.S. was secure behind two oceans and possessed a superior military, Roosevelt began planning the Lend-Lease program as 1941 approached. (4)

The British had to deal with many more shortages of food and fuel and consumer goods than did Americans. And they had to worry about the Luftwaffe.

Generalleutnant Holger Neumann, Inspekteur der Luftwaffe, erklärt im Gespräch mit Gabriel Bub, warum 2029 für die Rüstung „quasi übermorgen“ ist. Neumann zeigt sich offen für eine Beschaffung weiterer F-35-Kampfjets aus den USA. „Natürlich gibt es Überlegungen in der Luftwaffe, eine höhere Anzahl zu beschaffen, es gibt aber keine mir bekannten Pläne im Verteidigungsministerium.“ Die Entscheidung über die F-35 hängt auch davon ab, wie es mit Future Combat Air Systems (FCAS) weitergeht, das ja wegen Abstimmungsproblemen zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich ins Stocken geraten ist. Neumann sieht keine größeren Probleme, falls die USA nun doch keine Tomahawks in Deutschland stationieren. Solche Deep-Precision-Strike-Fähigkeiten (DPS) müssten nicht allein bodengestützt abgebildet werden, sagt Neumann. „Solche Fähigkeiten können auch von See oder aus der Luft bereitgestellt werden.“ [07:14]Der Rentenbeitrag steigt. Ab 2028 soll er laut interner Berechnung der Rentenversicherung auf 19,9 Prozent klettern, ein Jahr später auf 20 Prozent. Bei einem Jahreseinkommen von 102.000 Euro bedeutet das knapp 700 Euro mehr pro Jahr. Die Rentenkommission soll am 30. Juni ihren Entwurf vorlegen – die Erwartungen sind hoch, die Skepsis in der CDU auch. [04:10]Friedrich Merz und Hendrik Wüst haben sich im Sauerland getroffen.

Er flog den „Witwenmacher" – und überlebte. Frank Heinevetter war einer der letzten Piloten, der F-104 und Tornado flog. In dieser Folge der Privatpiloten-Lounge bin ich zu Besuch bei Frank Heinevetter – einem ehemaligen Kampfpiloten der Luftwaffe, der als einer der letzten noch lebenden Piloten sowohl die legendäre F-104 Lockheed Starfighter als auch den Panavia Tornado aktiv geflogen hat. Frank erzählt aus erster Hand über seine Zeit beim Jagdbombergeschwader, die Herausforderungen des Starfighters, den gefürchteten „Witwenmacher", und warum das Flugzeug trotz seines schlechten Rufes für ihn bis heute eine heimliche Liebe geblieben ist. In dieser Folge erfährst du: ✈️ Warum der Starfighter so viele Abstürze hatte – und wer wirklich schuld daran war ✈️ Technische Details zur F-104: Mach 2,2, Werkstattflüge, Überschallprüfungen ✈️ Der Moment, als Frank beim Luftkampf seinen ersten Kameraden verlor ✈️ Was General Steinhoff änderte, um die Unfallserie zu stoppen ✈️ Warum Frank den Starfighter als „Porsche" und den Tornado als „Mercedes" bezeichnet ✈️ Das Terrain Following Radar (TFR) des Tornado – und seine Tücken bei Nacht und Schlechtwetter ✈️ Warum Deutschland heute die F-35 kauft und der Eurofighter als Atomwaffenträger ausscheidet Frank ist seit 1968 bei der Luftwaffe, flog rund 10 Jahre die F-104G und anschließend 10 Jahre den Tornado PA-200. Seinen letzten Dienstflug absolvierte er am 2. Oktober 1992.

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el Tercer Reich no solo apostó por la tecnología militar y la propaganda: también experimentó con el uso sistemático de drogas para aumentar el rendimiento de sus tropas. Una de las más utilizadas fue la metanfetamina, comercializada bajo el nombre de Pervitin. Esta sustancia estimulante se distribuía masivamente entre soldados alemanes con el fin de mantenerlos despiertos, alertas y dispuestos a combatir durante días sin descanso. Lo que comenzó como un “impulso químico” pronto reveló efectos colaterales devastadores. Bajo los efectos de la metanfetamina, miles de soldados se volvieron más agresivos, temerarios e insensibles al dolor y al miedo. Esta condición química facilitó conductas extremas en el campo de batalla y en las operaciones de ocupación, donde muchos abusos, masacres y atrocidades fueron cometidos por soldados en estado alterado. La droga anulaba el juicio moral y favorecía la obediencia ciega, aspectos fundamentales para un régimen autoritario que exigía sumisión total a sus líderes. Pero no solo los soldados de infantería consumían metanfetamina. Se sabe qué pilotos de la Luftwaffe, conductores de tanques y hasta miembros de las SS usaban Pervitin para resistir el agotamiento físico. Incluso Adolf Hitler fue tratado con cócteles de drogas por su médico personal, Theodor Morell, que incluían opiáceos, estimulantes y otras sustancias desconocidas. El Führer, cada vez más paranoico y errático en sus decisiones, pudo haber sufrido los efectos acumulativos de este consumo prolongado en los últimos años de la guerra. El uso de metanfetaminas en el ejército nazi representa una de las facetas más inquietantes del conflicto: una guerra no solo librada con armas, sino también alimentada químicamente. La combinación entre ideología extrema y alteración mental creó un caldo de cultivo perfecto para la deshumanización y la violencia sistemática. Hoy, esta oscura estrategia química forma parte del legado perturbador del nazismo y nos recuerda hasta qué punto un régimen puede manipular cuerpo y mente en nombre del poder absoluto.

As the first day of the German invasion of Crete drew to a close on May 20th, 1941, neither side held the clear advantage they had hoped for — the Germans had failed to secure their primary objectives, while the British commander General Freyberg struggled with poor communications and an overriding fear of a seaborne invasion that would shape his decisions in the days ahead. This episode examines the Royal Navy's critical role in the battle for Crete, exploring both the strengths and significant weaknesses of Admiral Cunningham's fleet — including the limitations of their anti-aircraft systems against the Luftwaffe — and the aggressive positioning of British naval forces north of the island to intercept German supply convoys. The episode then covers two pivotal naval engagements: the night interception of the 1st Motor Sailing Flotilla by British cruisers and destroyers, which turned back the first German reinforcement convoy with the loss of at least eight vessels and 327 men, and the pursuit of the Sagittario convoy on May 22nd, which drew British ships northward into withering Luftwaffe attack and resulted in the loss of the cruisers Gloucester and Fiji, the Warspite damaged, and over a thousand sailors killed — a day that demonstrated both the courage and the cost of the Royal Navy's commitment to holding Crete.

Kris is a former conscript in the West German Bundeswehr during the Cold War. He shares his experiences from the moment he received his conscription notice at 17, ultimately joining the Luftwaffe, where he served with the Pershing nuclear missile system. Basic training was a rite of passage filled with challenges. Kris recounts the camaraderie formed with fellow recruits and the harsh realities of military life. Still, it was during this time that he learned valuable lessons about discipline, teamwork, and resilience. As the conversation unfolds, we explore the operational aspects of the Bundeswehr, including the use by West German troops of nuclear weapons. Reflecting on his service, he offers a candid assessment of his time in the military. While there were moments of frustration and a sense of wasted time, he ultimately recognises the profound impact that this experience had on his life. The skills he learned and the friendships he forged would shape his future in ways he never anticipated.

Wie wichtig sind US-Militärbasen in Deutschland? – Donald Trump möchte die US-Truppen in Deutschland reduzieren. Doch die amerikanischen Militärbasen haben eine große Bedeutung für die USA – und für viele deutsche Regionen sind sie ein starker Wirtschaftsfaktor.

Following the Allied defeat on the Greek mainland, thousands of British, Australian, and New Zealand troops were evacuated to the island of Crete in late April 1941, many arriving without their heavy weapons and with morale badly shaken. This episode examines the Allied defense of Crete under General Bernard Freyberg, who despite possessing Ultra intelligence pointing clearly to a German airborne assault, fatally misread the threat and positioned his forces to repel a seaborne invasion instead. We explore how a rapid succession of British commanders, chronic shortages of aircraft and artillery, and Freyberg's misplaced confidence in the Royal Navy shaped a defense that left the island's critical airfields dangerously exposed. On the German side, General Kurt Student convinced Hitler to authorize Operation Mercury rather than a similar assault on Malta, and the episode traces the planning disputes between Student and Luftwaffe commander Richthofen that produced a two-wave airborne attack using the elite 7th Flieger Division and the 5th Mountain Division — with both sides operating on badly flawed intelligence about the other's strength and intentions.

Seit Januar 2001 ist Frauen der Waffendienst erlaubt. Oberstabsgefreiter Gerrit Reichert spricht mit Zeitzeuginnen der ersten Stunde, Stabsfeldwebel Annett Selzer vom Logistikkommando der Bundeswehr in Erfurt und Hauptmann a.D. Sandy Kirchner, sowie Hauptmann Nils Birk vom ZMSBw über das Kreil-Urteil, das die Bundeswehr zweifellos veränderte. Vor genau 30 Jahren, 1996, klagte eine junge Frau aus Niedersachsen vor dem Verwaltungsgericht Hannover gegen die Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Die Elektronikerin Tanja Kreil wollte nach Abschluss ihrer zivilen Ausbildung als Waffenelektronikerin zur Bundeswehr, wurde aber abgelehnt. Der Grund: als Angehörige einer Instandsetzungseinheit hätte sie Dienst an der Waffe leisten müssen, was Frauen laut Grundgesetz nicht erlaubt war. Denn im Artikel 12a, Absatz 4 hieß es, dass Frauen „unter keinen Umständen Dienst an der Waffe leisten“ dürfen. Tanja Kreil sah sich in ihrem Geschlecht diskriminiert und das Verwaltungsgericht Hannover wandte sich zur rechtlichen Klärung an den Europäischen Gerichtshof (EuGH). Das Grundgesetz wird geändert Der EuGH gab Tanja Kreil recht. In Folge wurde der Artikel 12a, Absatz 4 des Grundgesetzes insofern geändert, als dass Frauen jetzt „auf keinen Fall zum Dienst mit der Waffe verpflichtet werden“ dürfen, der Waffendienst ihnen aber fortan auf freiwilliger Basis gestattet ist. Tanja Kreil machte von diesem wegweisenden Recht zwar keinen Gebrauch, statt ihrer aber 244 andere Frauen. Diese rückten im Januar 2001, vor genau 25 Jahren, als erste Frauen der Bundeswehr zum allgemeinen Waffendienst in die Streitkräfte ein. Mit dem Kreil-Urteil endete ein Ringen um geschlechterübergreifende Gleichstellung, dessen Anfänge bis in die Mitte der 1970er-Jahre zurückreichten. Im Dialog Stabsfeldwebel Annett Selzer war eine von 151 Frauen, die im Januar 2001 ihren Dienst beim Heer begannen (neben 76 bei der Luftwaffe und 17 bei der Marine). Hauptmann a.D. Sandy Kirchner meldete sich im Juli 2001 zum allerersten Lehrgang für weibliche Offiziere. Hauptmann Nils Birk ist Historiker am ZMSBw und beschäftigt sich in seiner Dissertation mit der Ausgangsfrage, welche Rolle Frauen bei der Streitkräfteplanung der Bundeswehr seit deren Gründung 1955 spielten. „Eine unerwartet und überraschend große“, sagt Birk, bis 2001 habe der parlamentarische Gesetzgeber hier aber sehr enge Grenzen gezogen. Oberstabsgefreiter Gerrit Reichert ist Fachjournalist mit dem Schwerpunkt Militärgeschichte. Einen Namen hat er sich vor allem als Biograph Lothar-Günther Buchheims und mit Büchern über U 96, „Das Boot“, gemacht.

Background to the Poem and Poet that stage managed Hitler into being“Dietrich Eckart wrote a poem that referred to a "Great One" or "Nameless One," expressing his belief in a coming "German Messiah" who would redeem the nation. ““Dietrich Eckart, a significant figure in the early Nazi movement, wrote a poem that expressed his anticipation of a "German Messiah." This poem, composed months before he met Adolf Hitler, referred to a "Great One" or "Nameless One," indicating Eckart's belief in a savior who would redeem Germany from its post-World War I struggles.”“Eckart's belief in a coming savior led him to view Hitler as the embodiment of this prophesied figure. He recognized Hitler's potential as a leader and demagogue, which significantly influenced Hitler's rise within the German Workers' Party and later the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP).Eckart's mentorship and support were crucial in shaping Hitler's political identity and oratory skills, ultimately contributing to the establishment of the Nazi regime.”“Dietrich Eckart's poem about the "Great One" reflects themes of nationalism, antisemitism, and the idea of a messianic leader for the German people, aligning with his broader political and ideological views. His adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" also incorporated these themes, portraying the protagonist as a superior Germanic hero battling against implicitly Jewish "trolls."”It takes a group of people desperate for position and proximity to power to create hell … Hitlers Inner Circle (posted from DUCKDUCK)Key Figures in Hitler's Inner CircleAdolf Hitler's inner circle consisted of influential leaders who played significant roles in the Nazi regime. Here are some of the most notable members:1. Hermann Göring Position: Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe and Reichsmarschall. Roles: Founder of the Gestapo, Minister of the Economic Four-Year Plan, and designated successor to Hitler in 1941. 2. Joseph Goebbels Position: Reich Minister for Propaganda. Roles: Controlled all media and public information, known for his powerful speeches that mobilized the German populace. 3. Martin Bormann Position: Head of the Nazi Party Chancellery. Roles: Hitler's personal secretary, controlled access to Hitler and all information flow, had significant influence over domestic policies. 4. Albert Speer Position: Chief Architect and Reich Minister for Armaments. Roles: Responsible for increasing Germany's armaments production, developed a close personal relationship with Hitler. 5. Wilhelm Keitel Position: Field Marshal and Chief of the Supreme High Command. Roles: Chief of Defense for Germany, played a crucial role in military operations. 6. Joachim von Ribbentrop Position: Foreign Minister. Roles: Key diplomat, brokered significant pacts like the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. 7. Walther Funk Position: Reich Minister of Economics. Roles: Managed economic policies and was involved in financial institutions.

Just ten days after Germany launched Operation Marita, the decision was made to evacuate all British forces from Greece — and this episode covers the chaotic final weeks of the campaign as that decision unfolded. Greek military commander Papagos had largely given up hope by mid-April, the Greek government and royal family fled to Crete, and the 200,000-strong Greek force in Albania surrendered to the Germans on April 20th in a quiet deal that deliberately excluded the Italians. The RAF fought its last battles over Athens before withdrawing, and the Royal Navy scrambled to organize a night-only evacuation using destroyers and converted liners under constant Luftwaffe pressure that would ultimately destroy 26 ships and kill 2,000 men. Communication failures plagued the effort — at Kalamata alone, twice the expected number of troops arrived at the beaches, and half were left behind when the ships pulled away before dawn. In total roughly 50,000 men were brought out of Greece, but around 14,000 were left to be captured, all without their heavy equipment, and the entire expedition would be recorded as yet another British disaster — setting the stage for the fight to hold the island of Crete that would follow almost immediately.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 79: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump doubles down on bashing the Pope and appropriating Jesus. This time it’s not him pretending to be Dr. Jesus or whoever. It's, it's, it's...well the image he posted looks like he’s about to make out with him. I mean this isn’t one of my areas of expertise but JC is fondling Trump's chest. It’s so bad even Speaker Mike Johnson noticed. The Republicans aren’t mad about the other part, slamming Pope Leo, because right wing governments have been attacking the Catholic Church since King Henry the 8th. But some of the comments do underscore that if they want the Pope to "stay in his lane," the MAGA evangelical squad needs to stay in its. This also underscores how MANY wars can Trump start at the same time? War against the Pope, War against European governments, War against Iran, War against Reality. He again insists he’s blockading the Strait of Hormuz when the American navy is clearly NOT blockading the Strait of Hormuz. He again insists he’s already beaten Iran, when Iran now says IT may also halt shipping in the RED SEA. Does Trump even KNOW how bad it’s going for America in the Gulf? In world capitals? Or is this like Germany 1942 where citizens – and many government officials – were actually told the Luftwaffe had totally destroyed New York City. Let me tell you the story of what happened when German POW’s actually SAW New York City… Plus: watch where you put your hands, J. B-Block (26:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Is naming a large pothole on the Moon in honor of the late wife of one of the astronauts an "act of colonialism"? One anti-colonialism commenter thinks so. When you OD and that isn't the worst thing you did all week - the story of Clavicular. And the Swalwell Disaster prompts one Congressman (Andy Ogles) to propose hanging rapists (who's going to tell him?) and one Fox host (Jesse Watters) to pontificate on the proper time to "whip it out." C-Block (39:15) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: She was a five-hour a week camerawoman who had already survived several years on Capitol Hill. He, owned the network and invited her to the best French restaurant in Georgetown. And she - as she told me back in '82 or '83 - wound up saying good night, by standing up in the middle of that restaurant and slapping him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On April 6th, 1941, Germany launched Operation Marita, the invasion of Greece, with the 12th Army under General List striking primarily through the newly conquered territory of Yugoslavia to outflank the well-prepared Greek Metaxas Line. The opening days of the attack were harder than the Germans expected — the Greeks defended stubbornly along the Metaxas Line, particularly at the Rupel Pass, but flanking movements soon made those positions untenable, and the vital port of Salonika fell after just three days of fighting. Meanwhile, the British were dealt a serious blow when a Luftwaffe raid on the port of Piraeus set off an ammunition ship, closing the harbor for two critical days, while intelligence intercepts revealed German forces pushing through the Monastir Gap to envelop the British Aliakmon Line. What followed was a grinding fighting retreat southward by Allied forces through the Servia and Olympus passes toward the historic pass at Thermopylae, with ANZAC troops buying time against an advancing German army that was better supplied, better supported from the air, and ultimately impossible to stop — raising the alarming question of whether any evacuation from Greece could even be arranged.

Sumérgete en la impactante historia de Lyudmila Pavlichenko, la francotiradora más letal de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, conocida como “Lady Death”, quien acumuló 309 bajas confirmadas contra los invasores nazis durante las brutales batallas del Frente Oriental. Desde sus humildes comienzos como estudiante de historia en Kyiv, Ucrania, en 1916, hasta su voluntariado en el Ejército Rojo tras la salvaje invasión alemana de 1941 durante la Operación Barbarroja, Pavlichenko empuñó con letal precisión un rifle Mosin-Nagant en los asedios de Odesa y Sebastopol. En medio de inviernos de -30 °C, bombardeos incesantes de la Luftwaffe y combates urbanos entre ruinas, burló a francotiradores de élite alemanes usando señuelos, espejos y tácticas de sigilo, eliminando oficiales, ametralladores y exploradores para desmantelar la maquinaria de guerra nazi. Su valentía la convirtió en una leyenda soviética, inspirando a tropas y civiles mientras soportaba congelación, hambre, heridas de metralla y el peso psicológico del combate. Este poderoso documental revela la dura realidad del Frente Oriental, donde la 25.ª División de Fusileros de Pavlichenko resistió al XI Ejército del general von Manstein durante los 250 días del asedio de Sebastopol. Desde sus raíces como trabajadora de fábrica y su talento en clubes de tiro, hasta convertirse en mentora de francotiradoras y en la primera ciudadana soviética en visitar la Casa Blanca en 1942 —donde buscó apoyo aliado con encendidos discursos como: “Señores, ¿no creen que han estado escondiéndose demasiado tiempo detrás de mi espalda?” —exploramos su vida tras la guerra como historiadora, sus cicatrices permanentes y cómo desafió los roles de género en la guerra. A pesar de la propaganda nazi y las recompensas por su captura, su resistencia ayudó a cambiar el rumbo del conflicto, demostrando que la determinación de una sola mujer podía infundir terror en el Tercer Reich. ¿Por qué los nazis subestimaron a esta guerrera académica? ¿Podrían sus tácticas haber cambiado el curso de la guerra antes? ¿Qué sacrificios no contados yacen entre las ruinas congeladas de Sebastopol? Acompáñanos en este épico viaje por una historia de resistencia que redefinió el heroísmo y resuena en los conflictos modernos. El legado de Lady Death en Sebastopol y más allá demuestra que el coraje no tiene género, con su historia grabada en los museos de Moscú y la memoria histórica mundial.

Send us a message or question! After the Firestorm – Bomb Disposal in Wartime HamburgWith Thomas RostNever Mind the Dambusters – Series 4Content NoteThis episode includes discussion of forced labour, concentration camp inmates, and civilian casualties. Listener discretion is advised.In this episode, Jane Gulliford Lowes turns to a largely hidden chapter of the bombing war: bomb disposal in Hamburg during and after the Second World War.While the Battle of Hamburg in mid-1943 — known to the Allies as Operation Gomorrah — is often remembered for the scale of destruction and the firestorm that engulfed the city, far less attention is paid to what followed. Long after the raids ended, unexploded bombs continued to pose a deadly threat, demanding dangerous and morally complex work on the ground.Joining Jane is Thomas Rost, a German historian and returning guest on the podcast, whose research examines bomb disposal in Hamburg and the career of Walter Merz, a central figure in this story.In this episode, we discuss:How Germany prepared for bomb disposal before the warWho was responsible for clearing unexploded ordnanceThe roles of organisations such as the Reichsluftschutzbund, Luftwaffe, Luftschutzpolizei, and Sicherheits- und HilfsdienstHow bomb disposal functioned once the bombing war intensifiedThe use of forced labourers and prisoners for dangerous clearance workWalter Merz's background and rise as a bomb disposal specialistBomb disposal during and after the Gomorrah raids on HamburgThe SS's use of concentration camp inmates for unexploded bomb clearanceWhy bomb disposal continued long after 1945The 1957 Hamburg-Harburg detonation and renewed public attentionMerz's later life, public profile, and memorial workWhether unexploded bombs remain a threat in Hamburg todayNewsreel of the Harburg Incident: The Harburg incident starts at minute 1:42https://digitaler-lesesaal.bundesarchiv.de/video/31072/721973 A 25 minute feature in German: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/norddeutsche-geschichte-n/sprengmeister-merz/ndr/Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS9lMTE1MzQxZC04ZmJjLTRjYjEtYTMxMC00NjcxNTU0NTgwNGUSupport the showPlease subscribe to Never Mind The Dambusters wherever you get your podcasts.

Ein ehemaliger US-Luftwaffenpilot wurde wegen des Verdachts festgenommen, chinesische Militärpiloten ohne Genehmigung trainiert zu haben. Die US-Behörden warnen, dass China systematisch das Fachwissen ehemaliger und aktueller US-Militärangehöriger für seine Aufrüstung nutzt.

Bundeskanzler Merz ist zurück von seiner China-Reise. Das Land spielt bei der Unterstützung des russischen Kriegs gegen die Ukraine eine wichtige Rolle. In Peking wollte der Bundeskanzler u.a. seine Gastgeber dazu bringen, sich stärker für eine Beendigung des Ukraine-Krieges einzusetzen. In einem gemeinsamen deutsch-chinesischen Statement wird immerhin die "Ukraine-Frage" erwähnt. Und: Die früher regelmäßigen Regierungskonsultationen zwischen Deutschland und China sollen wieder aufgenommen werden, nachdem sie in den letzten Jahren ins Stocken geraten waren - ein Erfolg. "Kanäle wieder aufzumachen" - das sei das Ziel des Bundeskanzlers, sagt Prof. Dr. May-Britt Stumbaum, die Direktorin des Spear-Instituts, einer sicherheitspolitischen Denkfabrik, und assoziierte Professorin an der Bundeswehr-Universität München. Allerdings: Auf Augenhöhe sehe sich China nur mit den USA, Russland sei für Peking "nützlich". Wichtig für Deutschland sei, "zu Hause" stark zu werden und den eigenen Mittelstand zu schützen - insbesondere vor chinesischer Technologie- und Wirtschaftsspionage, so Stumbaum, die auch Reserve-Offizierin der Luftwaffe ist. Sie berichtet im Gespräch mit Anna Engelke von Chinas kognitiver Kriegsführung. Dabei geht es darum, die Wahrnehmung des Gegners zu verändern. Dafür nutze China auch TikTok: Durch kurze Videos solle die Konzentrationsfähigkeit der User:innen untergraben werden: "Innerhalb Chinas sind diese Reels wesentlich länger. Außerhalb Chinas sind diese Reels wesentlich kürzer und das hat die Auswirkung, dass sie die Konzentrationsfähigkeit systematisch untergraben. Und natürlich ist das Zentrum einer Demokratie, dass ich mich konzentrieren kann, um mich mit den Informationen auseinanderzusetzen", so die Sicherheits-Expertin. China habe sehr viel in KI und Big Data investiert: "Dass man damit eben Inhalte für soziale Medien kreieren kann und die stimulieren eben diese Polarisierung in der Gesellschaft", sagt Stumbaum.Außerdem berichten Stefan Niemann und Kai Küstner von der aktuellen Lage in der Ukraine: Diese konnte den dritten erfolgreichen Treffer ihres Marschflugkörpers "Flamingo" gegen russische Ziele verzeichnen. Nach Erkenntnissen des US-Thinktanks Institute for the Study of War hat Russland nach zweijähriger Invasion die ostukrainische Stadt Pokrowsk eingenommen. Unterdessen hat der Haushaltausschuss des Bundestages grünes Licht für Kamikazedrohnen gegeben.Lob und Kritik, alles bitte per Mail an streitkraefte@ndr.de Aktueller Lagebericht des Institute for the Study of War (ISW), u.a. zur russischen Eroberung Pokrowks: https://understandingwar.org/research/russia-ukraine/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-february-26-2026/ Interview mit Prof. Dr. May-Britt Stumbaum: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/audio-429720.html Alle Folgen von “Streitkräfte und Strategien”: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/podcast2998.html Podcast-Tipp: “Ready for Liftoff!

Send us a message or question! 2 Group  Bomber Command and the Rotterdam RaidWith Erik ParkerNever Mind the Dambusters – Series 4In this episode, Jane Gulliford Lowes and James Jefferies turn their attention to a little-known Bomber Command raid on Rotterdam, carried out during the early years of the Second World War by the light bomber squadrons of 2 Group.While Rotterdam is most often associated with the devastating Luftwaffe attack of May 1940, this episode explores a lesser-known British operation — one that sheds light on early-war RAF thinking, morale, and the determination to maintain an offensive presence in Western Europe.Our guest is Erik Parker, a historian whose interest in aviation was shaped by growing up in the North East of England, surrounded by flying and flyers. During lockdown, Erik's research led him to uncover the story of this raid through the experiences of his neighbour Jack Onions, an RAF airman whose extraordinary pre-war and early-war career offers a vivid window into the formative years of Bomber Command.In this episode, we discuss:Erik Parker's aviation background and what drew him to this storyThe early-war role of 2 Group within Bomber CommandWhy light bombers remained central to RAF operations before 1943Jack's remarkable RAF career, from pre-war service to early combatThe planning and execution of the Rotterdam raidRoutes, tactics, and flying at extreme low levelThe experiences of individual crews during the operationLosses suffered and how the raid was received at the timeWhat the raid achieved — and what it reveals about early Bomber Command strategyJack's later career and life after the raidWhy This Episode MattersThis episode challenges the idea that Bomber Command's story begins with the heavy bomber offensive. Instead, it highlights a formative period when light bomber crews operated under intense pressure, often with limited resources, helping to shape the RAF's evolving approach to the air war.Further ReadingListeners interested in learning more about this raid and the men involved can find associated material via:The RAF Watten websiteSupport the showPlease subscribe to Never Mind The Dambusters wherever you get your podcasts.

Mattes Kries 10 Percent True EP81 Part 2Former Luftwaffe Tornado IDS pilot and weapons school instructor Mattes Kries returns to break down how a Cold War–era strike aircraft was pushed far beyond its original design. From low-level nuclear strike doctrine to medium-altitude workarounds, “dumb” HARM employment, Red Flag and Nellis weapons school, and the arrival of TAURUS, this episode explores how crews compensated for limited kit with tactics, maths, and judgement. It's a rare, insider look at German Tornado operations, weapons school culture, and the real cost of keeping legacy jets relevant.0:00 intro teaser 1:35 welcome back Mattes2:55 recognition of the “different breed”6:30 The state of tactics in the prevailing atmosphere and “fooling” the weapons computer (the value of a good weatherman)18:25 shortcomings distilled19:31 targeting and low to medium altitude…..24:15 and then with GPS27:27 reversion mode targeting feasibility 29:28 a sense among crews that Luftwaffe is lagging behind peers?34:16 why?37:50 squadron re-roll43:30 flying rates? 47:15 competency levels as a result? 53:30 losses57:42 weapons school1:08:45 how to counter a 4-ship of Eagles1:10:40 electronic attack systems 1:13:10 BFM phase1:19:00 bomb in face and other survival tactics1:21:12 HARM 1:26:08 upgrades incl datalink and Marineflieger cross pollination 1:31:50 intelligence, access to information on other platforms?1:39:18 instructing at the weapons school and lessons in leadership1:47:20 TAURUS1:53:00 opinions on Ukraine - SCALP assessment?1:58:33 low level2:07:05 Thank you Mattes!

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick dives into the technical and strategic realities of the Battle of Britain. Moving beyond the "few" narrative of heroic fighter pilots, we explore the structural advantages that allowed the RAF to survive the onslaught of the Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940.Drawing on Richard Overy's The Bombing War, we examine the genius of Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding and his integrated air defense system. How did radar, the Observer Corps, and telephone networks combine to give British pilots a critical edge? And why did the German high command consistently underestimate the resilience of Fighter Command while simultaneously asking too much of its own exhausted pilots?From the muddle-headed strategy of Hermann Göring to the sheer physical limits of aerial warfare, this episode unpacks why Hitler's plan to knock Britain out of the war was doomed from the start.Plus: Information on our upcoming Nazi Germany Masterclass in March and how to access the recordings of our previous sessions!Key Topics:The Dowding System: How radar and communication saved Britain.German Intelligence Failures: Why the Luftwaffe underestimated the RAF.Attrition: The physical and mental exhaustion of pilots on both sides.Strategic Confusion: Hitler's lack of focus and Göring's incompetence.Books Mentioned:The Bombing War by Richard OveryForgotten Armies by Christopher Bayly and Tim HarperExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Hermann Göring fue una de las figuras más influyentes, poderosas y complejas del Tercer Reich. Nacido en una familia de clase alta, pasó su infancia en un castillo de Baviera que pertenecía a un médico de ascendencia judía que era amante de su madre. Eso terminó moldeando su carácter y le dio una visión del mundo a medio camino entre el romanticismo pangermánico del siglo XIX y el ferviente nacionalismo de posguerra. En la primera guerra Mundial se convirtió en uno de los primeros héroes de la aviación, pero la paz le dejó sin empleo ya que en Versalles los aliados impusieron a la Alemania disponer de fuerza aérea. Eso alimentó un profundo resentimiento hacia la República de Weimar, lo que lo llevaría a unirse al partido nazi tan pronto como en 1922. Para Hitler alguien como Göring era extremadamente útil. Era, aparte de un héroe de guerra, alguien de clase alta bien educado que tenía acceso a los salones de la alta burguesía y la aristocracia. Organizó las SA y participó en el fallido Putsch de 1923, del que consiguió salir con vida pero con dos heridas que le convirtieron en un adicto a la morfina de por vida. Con la llegada de los nazis al poder en 1933, fue acumulando cargos y dignidades, entre ellos el de presidente de Prusia, ministro del aire, ministro de economía y mariscal del Reich. Fue él quien creo la Gestapo y abrió los primeros campos de concentración. En el ámbito económico dirigió el plan cuatrienal para preparar a Alemania para la guerra. Como jefe de la Luftwaffe, cosechó algunos éxitos muy sonados en Polonia y Francia, pero fracasó estrepitosamente en la Batalla de Inglaterra y en el socorro a Stalingrado. Esto último terminó por dinamitar su prestigio. En paralelo llevaba una vida de máximo lujo en el palacete que se hizo construir a las afueras de Berlín, el Carinhall, donde reunió una ingente colección de arte, en su mayor parte fruto del expolio a las familias judías y a los países ocupados durante la guerra. Pese a que se esforzó en proyectar de cara al exterior una imagen de distinción y cierta moderación, fue él quien autorizó "Solución Final". En 1945, tras intentar suceder a Hitler cuando éste se encontraba en el búnker, fue arrestado por los aliados y juzgado en Núremberg. Allí, pese a demostrar una inteligencia excepcional y desafiar abiertamente al tribunal, fue condenado a muerte por crímenes contra la humanidad. No llegó a ser ejecutado ya que, para evitar la horca, se suicidó con cianuro horas antes de su ejecución. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Contra el pesimismo”… https://amzn.to/4m1RX2R · “Hispanos.

Mattes Kries | 10 Percent True | EP81 – Part 1In this episode, Mattes Kries—a former Luftwaffe Tornado IDS pilot and weapons instructor—traces his career from a hard-won start in NATO jet training through frontline Tornado operations, weapons school, and senior tactics leadership. He explains how Germany's Tornado force evolved from Cold War low-level nuclear strike toward conventional, medium-altitude employment; how lessons from U.S. and NATO exercises reshaped German tactics; and why culture, risk tolerance, and bureaucracy matter as much as hardware.Along the way, Mattes offers rare, candid insight into weapons school innovation, COMAO command without Link 16, live weapons integration, and the realities of training for combat in a force defined by safety-first constraints—grounded in vivid anecdotes and hard-earned lessons.Timestamps00:00 – The Greek instructor teaser01:58 – Welcome Mattes & Phil's subscriber questions: inspiration and most exhilarating mission12:05 – Matthew's subscriber question: history and pride in the modern Luftwaffe23:40 – Attachment to the past among today's Luftwaffe personnel29:10 – Starting out in the Luftwaffe34:02 – F-4 ambitions—and why fate had other (good) ideas41:28 – T-37 challenges (and the Greek instructor)49:00 – Turning early struggles into long-term success51:15 – Arrival on the Tornado at Büchel56:40 – Tornado IDS: roles, weapons, and mission sets1:05:35 – SIOP and nuclear strike planning1:10:40 – The MW-1 weapon system1:20:19 – Why the MW-1 was never fitted for training—and the power of German accountants1:29:30 – Staying on the boom: tanker planning as a weapons school student1:35:08 – Avoiding the KC-135 by design?1:36:35 – Responding to Starbaby's criticism of ECR capabilities vs decision-maker mindset1:54:25 – Part 2 incoming

In the eyes of a German fighter pilot in the skies over English Channel in 1940, the Battle of Britain was as much a struggle of human endurance as it was of strategy and skill. Speaking to Emily Briffett, aviation historian Dr Victoria Taylor takes us inside the mind of the Luftwaffe, revealing the experiences of pilots, ground crews and support personnel as they faced the perils of aerial combat, the brutal pressure of Nazi ideology, and the relentless intensity demanded of them by those in command.

Over the course of World War II, Germany’s submariners sank over three thousand Allied ships, nearly three-quarters of Allied shipping losses in all theaters of the war. Winston Churchill famously declared the only thing that truly frightened him during World War II was the U-boat threat. But the treat was more imagined than real. The actual capability of the German Navy was somewhat limited. Some historians think that the Germans would have been better off in WWII if they had built no navy at all and devoted those resources to the army and the Luftwaffe. In the process the submariners endured horrific conditions and suffered a 75 percent death rate, the highest of any arm of service in the conflict. The campaign began with daring, high-profile successes that fostered a dangerous overconfidence, most notably the sinking of the HMS Royal Oak in 1939 by U-47, which killed 835 British crewmen. Yet, despite these early victories—when the U-boat wolfpacks inflicted devastating losses on weakly defended Allied convoys—the force was never able to maintain the scale needed for a knock-out blow. By the time Germany had sufficient numbers, the industrial and military might of the United States, coupled with increasingly effective Allied countermeasures, had already passed the U-boat's moment of maximum threat. As the war progressed, the elite, superbly trained pre-war crews were wiped out and replaced by those with less training, leading to a steady deterioration in effectiveness. Today’s guest is Roger Moorhouse, author of “Wolfpack: Inside Hitler’s U-Boat War.” We look at how Germany’s U-boat campaign challenged British naval supremacy and brought international trade to its knees. We follow the story of these U-Boat crews from the enthusiasm of the war’s early days, buoyed with optimism about their cause, through the challenges of the Allied counterthreat, to the final horrors of enemy capture and death in the depths.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GRAHAM CHRISTIE AND THE RISE OF MILITARISM Colleague Charles Spicer. Graham Christie is introduced as a brilliant WWI air ace and engineer who, after suffering from war trauma, dedicated himself to understanding Germany and feeding intelligence to Sir Robert Vansittart, the head of the British Foreign Office. By 1935, the British protagonists were appalled by the Nuremberg Laws but chose to lobby their German contacts privately, arguing that such discrimination was bad for business. As Germany rearmed, Christie utilized his friendship with fellow aviator Hermann Göring to gather intelligence on the Luftwaffe, consistently warning London of the military buildup. Christie even provided advance warning of the Rhineland remilitarization in 1936, a moment historians view as the greatest missed opportunity to stop Hitler, had Britain not been paralyzed by pacifist sentiment. NUMBER 3 1945-46 GORING AND THE ACCUSED OF AGGRESSSIVE WAR.
