THE LUFTWAFFE'S CAMPAIGNS IN POLAND AND THE WEST 1939-1940: A CASE STUDY OF HANDLING INNOYATION IN WARTIME
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Although the Luftwaffe won a signal victory in the Polish campaign in September 1939, the campaign also exposed many serious flaws in the doctrine, tactics, eąuipment and organization of the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe used the ехрепепсе of the Polish campaign in a very effective program to examine and revise the Luftwaffe s doctrine and tactics in time for the gr4eat campaign in the West in May/June 1940. Germany’s success against the Western powers in 1940 was, in large part, due to the superior doctrine and tactics of the Luftwaffe. Jhis article is a case study of how a military force can effectively learn from recent operations and ąuickly apply the lessons in the form of doctrinal change.
