Disarmament and exploitation were two distinctly separate acts executed by unique organizational entities created for those specific purposes. The umbrella plan under which the disarmament of the Luftwaffe was implemented was Operation Eclipse. Eclipse took over where Overlord left off, Overlord having been the plan which provided for the invasion of Europe up to the defeat of the enemy, while Eclipse covered the disarmament and permanent military neutralization of Nazi Germany. For American airmen tasked to exploit the aeronautical secrets of the Third Reich, Operation Lusty provided the authority, direction, and concept of operation. These two groups, the disarmers and the exploiters,worked hand in glove, one feeding the other, and by doing so ensured each other’s success. Although the process as it unfolded was anything but orderly, they succeeded in their respective tasks beyond anyone’s expectations. RAPIDили IFOLDER 85
