The '' Luftwaffe '' was deeply involved in Nazi war crimes . By the end of the war , a significant percentage of aircraft production originated in concentration camps , an industry employing tens of thousands of prisoners . The '' Luftwaffe '' s demand for labor was one of the factors that led to the deportation and murder of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews in 1944 . The '' Oberkommando der Luftwaffe '' organized Nazi human experimentation , and '' Luftwaffe '' ground troops committed massacres in Italy , Greece , and Poland
