List of military aircraft of Germany during World War Two

This list covers German aircraft of the Second World War that served in the Luftwaffe during World War II as defined by the year 1939-1945. Number designations are largely by RLM designation system, though in this list they are partially organized by manufacture and role.

The Luftwaffe of the Third Reich officially existed from 1933-1945, training for a German air force had been going on as earlier the 1920's before the Nazis came to power. The first list attempts to focus on the more significant aircraft that participated in the main part of the war. The second is a more all encompassing list to include the time before, though projects are not covered. Captured aircraft also have a list. Internal projects of manufacturers are not listed, and nor are many prototypes. A list of aircraft of the from 1933-1945 can be found here in the form of the Reich Aviation Ministry's list of aircraft. Planes from all branches are currently listed.

Introduction to Listings

A plane's number was usually related to its RLM designation and sometimes to its manufacturer (foreign ones with captured aircraft). The RLM-GL/C designations are not all correct and sometimes are used twice. The RLM would sometimes reassign numbers, some pre-1933 aircraft just used their company names, etc.. The Aircraft names are the most common names. Other key data is sometimes listed afterward. See RLM aircraft designation system for a full explanation of the RLM system.

Primary Aircraft

This list does not primarily include projects, prototypes, captured aircraft. Consists mostly of the most common aircraft of German Luftwaffe that participated in the second world war.
See German aircraft production during WW2 for most produced types.
