Glider students eating in the grass, near Trebbin 1937

Young men in overalls and vests crowd round a pot on the grass to fill their bowls; then dozens of them sit in the meadow, most of them stripped to the waist, spooning their meal from enamel bowls, while a glider stands parked on the field behind them against a dark line of forest. In April 1937 the new National Socialist Flying Corps under Friedrich Christiansen took over all gliding in Germany, and its camps were meant to breed the pilots of the coming Luftwaffe.
