Luftwaffe role in creating anti-soviet armed forces

Presented article deals with the role of Luftwaffe in creation of the anti-Soviet armed groups. Main goal of the work is to discuss involvement of the armed forces from occupied territories in Nazi German air forces during the Second World War. Paper gives detailed descriptions of collaborationist parties who were active members of newly created forces. It also gives explanation that main military groups created were infantry, as their training was way much easier comparing, for example to tanker or pilot. But nevertheless Luftwaffe was vigorously working on creation of air forces within occupied countries, including Soviet Union. Alongside with general information about ongoing processes, creation and participation of Air Forces of Russian Liberation Army with leadership of Viktor Maltsev is deeply discussed. Relationship with lieutenant-colonel of General Staff Holters and their convincing work between October 1943 and December 1944 is once again debated. The article also concentrates on describing the creation of different air forces rather than AFRLA. For instance in Estonia and Latvia same type of military forces were created. In Estonia project went well and soon after the creation of the air forces were under control of Luftwaffe by itself. But the scenario in Latvia was dramatically different ? the air forces were dismissed due to the lack of recourses. Article gives a bright notion about outbreak and importance of Luftwaffe in creation of Anti Soviet military groups on the soil of Soviet Union and other occupied countries.
