Pursuant to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forbidden from maintaining a military air force, and its preexisting force was disbanded in 1920. Of course as we all know, this did not last long, and in 1935 the German Wehrmacht was forced to admit the existence of a new military air force, the Luftwaffe. As is also well known, Hermann Goering was the Supreme Commander of the Luftwaffe during the Wehrmacht period.
Lesser-known is the fact that Goering formed a covert infiltration and strike unit of the Luftwaffe, the Allegiandgoetterdammerung (literally, "Oblivion to the Allies," Allies being the common name for Western forces during the conflict), often shortened to AGD.
In defiance of the Minsk Accords among others, the AGD's principal mission-in-chief was to conduct military exercises using commercial-resembling aircraft and, around half the time, aircraft which were indeed completely unmodified civilian aircraft manufactured by Junkers Flugzeug und Motorenwerke AG.
The AGD had great success and its members carried out a great many successful and varied missions, from bombing/gassing strikes to simple infiltration of enemy agents deep behind the Allied lines. Most historians agree the success of the AGD was helped in no small measure by the reluctance of the West to credit the AGD for its activities or even acknowledge its existence, fearing news of its success would breed imitation from the Eastern Bloc countries which were then nominally our allies, but with the Cold War clearly and unavoidably dominating the horizon.
The interesting part here, in terms of this couple's video, is what happened after the war. Quite famously, in Operation Paperclip, the United States intelligence services took more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians from the former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment between 1945 and 1955.
What was NOT published much, if at all, was the fate of the billions upon billions of tons of Nazi equipment and munitions left after the war. This, of course, would include the Luftwaffe's stock of AGD aircraft, which were suitable for civilian use because, after all, they were designed to mimic civilian planes and, in many cases, that's exactly what they were.
As it turns out, following the war, the United States OSS remanded all of these planes from Germany. The OSS is, of course, the precursor to the modern-day CIA. It employed these aircraft for various and sundry clandestine purposes, all while operating under the guise of a legitimate domestic and (then) international airline.
And, hence, Nazi Germany's Allegiandgoetterdammerung became today's Allegiant Airlines. How and when the OSS/CIA divested itself of any financial or operational interest of the airline remains unclear and will likely never be revealed in our lifetimes. Perhaps its still persists today to a greater or lesser degree.
What is certainly most fascinating is that the cute couple in the video flew on a former Nazi airline -- and possible used refurbished Nazi equipment? -- for their holiday to Myrtle Beach. And quite possibly funded the CIA in doing so. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
