The liaison leader to the Corps leader in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia NSFK-Obertruppfführer Hans Wanla. A year of reconstruction work of the NS-Fliegerkorps in the Bohemian-Moravian space gives reason to bear witness in the following, how after the historical act of the Führer the civil air journey was built up in this space in accordance with his spirit and his will. In the larger cities of the Protectorate, in Prague, Brno, Dlmüß, Moravian-Dstrau, Jglau, Bud. weis and Pilsen NSFK-services were built, which all flight-enthusiastic men summarized. After a little time the NSFN-storms emerged from these advertising places. This rapid development work was mainly made possible by the fact that at the beginning the NSFK work was taken into the hands of the flight-enthusiastic men, who were in the former state formation in the "Verband Deutscher Flugzeug", the "VDF". The "Verband Deutscher Flieger" was created by the Austrian war pilots who returned from the field, who saw no other means of flying again within the state ruled by the Czechs. The path that was begun was laborious, rich in disappointments and humiliations, but eventually led to the goal. And in the year of liberation it could be noted as a success of this work that in most of the thirds of the Czechoslovaks had been groups of the VDF, that there were men who were themselves pilots, who had enthusiasm for flying and also had the corresponding technical skills to continue to work on the new tasks in the new framework, in the NS flying corps, to a greater extent. The existing workshops with their facilities and the aircraft could be installed in the service of the NS flying corps right at the beginning. These conditions were found by the commander of the corps leader NSFK group leader Krüger, when he came to Prague on 17 April 1939 on the basis of the request of the association management of the VDF in order to transfer the VDF to the Nazi flying corpora. This was done by an order issued jointly by the Chief of Staff of the Corps and the then Sbmann of the VDF, which essentially regulated the details related to the transfer. The VDF provided the NS-Fliegerkorps with its fly corps and equipment, the members were taken over by the N S.Flieferkorps as far as they corresponded to the recording conditions. The work carried out in the VDF was recognized and evaluated in a similar way to the work done in the DLV by the rich German comrades. The aircraft, which conformed to the Czech conditions, could be used until new NSFK-compliant equipment was provided. The support and promotion of the NSFC-units in the protectorate was achieved by assigning individual parts of the Protectorate to the 4 adjacent NSFFK-groups for support. Group 6 (Silesia) received the locations Moravian-Dstrau and Dimüß, Group 7 (Elbe-Saale) received Prague, Group 13 (Main-Donau) Pilsen and Group 17 (Ostmark) Brno, Jglau and Budweis received. The Dbmann of the Association of German Airmen, who has the task of carrying out the questions arising from the common tendency to protect themselves, was taken as the "linker to the corps leader in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia". The units in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and the units in Sudetenland were to be merged after construction in a separate NSFK group. As a result of the war-related change in NSFN work, the merger will take place only later. The great understanding that NSFK group leader Krüger gave of the special situation in the proteftorate by the creation of the above working bases and the pre-trained, fit-in core teams in the VDF gave the guarantee to be able to carry out the construction work of the NS-Flieger-Korps under the most favourable conditions. The reports of the Einheitsführer in the following pages inform about this work. The "Verband deutscher Flieger" has fulfilled and completed its educational task. He resigns and finds his natural, historically founded further development in the NS-Fliegerkorps. The men of the former association of German pilots serve today as NSFK men in common with the comrades of the Sudetenland and the Old Kingdom of the one Jdee, which is laid down in the slogan of the Generalfeldmarschall Hermann Göring: "D as deut he Volt is to become a Bolt of the pilots."
