Ministry Of Aviation (Nazi Germany)
The Ministry of Aviation (, abbreviated RLM) was a government department during the period of Nazi Germany (1933–45). It is also the original name of the Detlev-Rohwedder-Haus building on the Wilhelmstrasse in central Berlin, Germany, which houses the modern German Finance Ministry (). The Ministry was in charge of development and production of all aircraft developed, designed, and built in Germany during the existence of the Third Reich, overseeing all matters concerning both military and civilian designs – it handled military aviation matters as its top priority, particularly for the Luftwaffe. As was characteristic of government departments in the Nazi era, the Ministry was personality-driven and formal procedures were often ignored in favour of the whims of the Minister, '' Reichsmarschall'' Hermann Göring. As a result, early successes in aircraft development progressed only slowly and erratically during World War II. History The Ministry was formed on 27 April 19 ...

List Of Aircraft Engines Of Germany During World War II
This is a list of all German motors including all aircraft engines, rocket motors, jets and any other powerplants, along with a very basic description. It includes experimental engines as well as those that made it to production status. The Reich Air Ministry used an internal designation system that included a prefix number signifying the engine type, 9 for piston engines and 109 for jets and rockets, followed by a manufacturer's code, followed by an engine series number. Unlike the 9-prefixed piston engine designations, the 109-series of reaction-thrust, turbojet, turboprop and rocket engine designation numbers' three-place numerical suffixes had no "firm adherence" to any one manufacturer. * 090–099 – various minor manufacturers * 1 – Bayerische Motorenwerke GmbH (BMW); later changed to 800 block * 2 – Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke A.G. * 3 – BMW-Flugmotorenwerke Brandenburg GmbH (BMW-Bramo) * 4 – Argus Motoren GmbH * 5 – Heinkel Hirth Motoren GmbH * 6 ...

List Of World War II Military Aircraft Of Germany
This list covers aircraft of the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War from 1939 to 1945. Numerical designations are largely within the RLM designation system. The Luftwaffe officially existed from 1933–1945 but training had started in the 1920s, before the Nazi seizure of power, and many aircraft made in the inter-war years were used during World War II. The most significant aircraft that participated in World War II are highlighted in blue. Pre-war aircraft not used after 1938 are excluded, as are projects and aircraft that did not fly. The listed roles are the primary roles of the aircraft during World War II – many obsolete pre-war combat aircraft remained in use as trainers rather than in their original more familiar roles. Captured or acquired aircraft are listed separately as many were used only for evaluation while those available in large enough numbers were commonly used as trainers, while a small number were usen the Reich Aviation Mi ...

RLM Aircraft Designation System
The German Air Ministry (''Reichsluftfahrtministerium''; RLM) had a system for aircraft designation which was an attempt by the aviation authorities of the Third Reich to standardize and produce an identifier for each airframe type produced in Germany. It was in use from 1933 to 1945 though many pre-1933 aircraft were included and the system had changes over those years. As well as aircraft of the Luftwaffe, it covered civilian airliners and sport planes, due to the RLM handing all aviation-related matters in the Third Reich, both civilian and military in nature. The system When the ''Reichsluftfahrtministerium'' was given control of the country's aviation activities in 1933, it set out to catalog both the aircraft already in production by various German aircraft manufacturer as well as new projects approved for development by the ministry. The RLM made necessary improvements to a designation system which had been set up in 1929/30 by the '' Heereswaffenamt'' (Army Weapons ...
