The DFS-230 glider served on all fronts for the Germans in WWII and particularly in the Battle for Crete. This replica is on display at the super Luftfahrttechnisches Museum Rechlin and is on loan from the Gatow museum.

First flying in 1937 this was a glider capable of carrying ten troops and over 1000 were built. They were used extensively in WW II particularly in North Africa and in the invasion of Crete. The example seen here is a replica built using many original parts and is displayed in this diorama as a part of the Luftwaffe Museum.
