The NSFK
(Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps) was a paramilitary organisation that was
founded in the early 1930s when a German air force was prohibited by the Treaty
of Versailles. The NSFK directed military aviation training in gliders and private
aeroplanes. When the Luftwaffe was formed many NSFK members transferred. But the
organisation continued to exist after the Luftwaffe was established, but to a
much smaller scale. Gliders were used through out World War II which were constructed
using the simplest of materials, Which allowed the Luftwaffe to drop men and equipment
behind enemy lines undetected.
