A training glider takes off from the heath, near Trebbin 1937
A simple training glider, its pilot sitting in the open on the front of a bare frame beneath the wing, slides across the sandy heath, rises into the air and floats a few metres above the rolling slope with the country spread out below. Gliding had flourished in Germany because the Treaty of Versailles forbade military aviation; it gave young men the feel of the air long before the Luftwaffe was declared in 1935.
