Luftwaffe   日本語

Luftwaffe (German pronunciation: [ˈlʊftvafə] ( listen)) is the aerial warfare branch of the German Armed Forces. The term luftwaffe is also the generic German term for an air force and it is the name of both the Wehrmacht air force as well as the post-World War II Bundeswehr air force.
The first Luftwaffe was founded in 1935 with many of its leaders having served in the World War I-era Luftstreitkräfte which had been disbanded under the term of the Treaty of Versailles. After the defeat of the Third Reich the Luftwaffe was disbanded in 1946.^[2] A new Bundeswehr Luftwaffe was founded in 1956 and remains as the German air force to the present day.


德國在第一次世界大戰中戰敗，按照1919年《凡爾賽條約》，德國空軍被解散。但在魏瑪共和國後期，德國逐步突破禁令，重新生產軍用飛機。1935年3月，德國空軍正式重建，戈林擔任空軍總司令。到1939年8月，德國空軍已擁有3750架戰機。
第二次世界大戰後，德國禁止擁有軍隊，空軍被解散。但在西德加入北約後，禁令廢除；同一時期受到蘇聯支持的東德國家人民軍也建立了空軍；兩德統一後，東西德國防力量整併。
然而德國跟義大利與日本一樣，由於德意日在二戰中戰敗，同盟國禁止德意日三國擁有戰略轟炸機、巡弋飛彈、彈道飛彈、巡洋艦、航空母艦、核動力潛艦與核生化武器等侵略性武裝，加上德國在戰後實施防禦型的建軍策略，故德國空軍並未跟同屬北約組織的英國、法國空軍一樣，擁有核威懾力量。
