Actual films portraying the German Luftwaffe are non-existent, thus you must seek films with some type of aircraft attack scenario, or a World War II German prisoner-of-war camp, since many of the camps were run by the Luftwaffe.

Still, you can see a few German Luftwaffe aircraft in many of these films.

In Germany, stalag was a term used for prisoner-of-war camps.  

During World War II, the Luftwaffe (German air force) operated Stalag Luft in which flying personnel, both officers and non-commissioned officers, were held. 

The Kriegsmarine (German navy) operated Marlag for Navy personnel and Milag for Merchant Navy personnel.

Fort Eben-Emael

Belgian fortress located between Liège and Maastricht, on the Belgian-Dutch border. 

The fort was neutralized by glider-borne German troops (94 men)on 10–11 May 1940 during the Second World War. 

This was the first strategic airborne operation using paratroopers ever attempted in military history.  

Battle of Crete 

German assault force numbering 25,647 paratroopers and air landing troops; the Germans had recorded nearly 7,300 casualties, including 3,685 killed or missing in action. 

More than half of the losses occurred on the first day among the paratroopers of the 7th Air Division.

 + Included also Axis power allies.

 Into the Sky! (German Luftwaffe in war movies)

Fighters in the Sky! (German Luftwaffe in war movies)

The Kriegsmarine was the navy of Germany.

Day and night  We have not closed our eyes   On the great hunt on the high seas   Behind binoculars   And wet to the bone,  The watch peers out for tonnage,  The diesel engines sound, the sea grows rough,  The boat is so small  And the sea so large,   Now it depends on every hand  From the captain to the last man.

U-boat Song.

Included also Axis power allies.   

Action in the Sea! (German Navy in war films)

Stanley Holloway, Joan Rice, Donald Sinden, and Odile Versois in A Day to Remember (1953)

Between 1933-45, UFA was not the only German producer, but was in control of the distribution. Because that circumstance, we have included films from other German producers, made at the same period.
