160 NSFK-Truppfübrer Heinrich Ze mansky : One year Ns-Fliegerkorps in Brno When the establishment of the Protectorate of the Czech State had brought its final end and now also we Brno were integrated into the Great German Reich, the construction work of all the divisions was soon settled in our hometown, just as in the other Drten des Protektorats with the people of Peoples German. On Brno's ground, an Alufbaukommando from Znaim, the now Dbersturmführer Winkler and the administrative SbertruppfführER Hammer with some other Znaimer storm members, carried out the first preparatory work for the NS-Fliegerkorps. Now the path was finally free for the flight-loving men of the Drtgruppe Brünn of the Association of German Pilots for an unimpeded work. Since the Jabre in 1937 we could no longer carry out a practical flight operation, because our Klentnißer flight area lay in the border area and was closed for military reasons. Alud prevented the continuing monetary difficulties, which were truly sacrificial in nature of the few active ones, from occurring again and again, some work. Although the number of really active members was low, one could count on a strong offspring from the ranks of the Turnerjugend, because when the German Furnverband was told the gliding sport, he raised in his frame the model flying, which in particular caused belle enthusiasm at the Turner Jugend. Aluch in Brno managed to inspire some former gymnastics pilots dic Turnerjugend for flying and to train in flight model construction. From the most recent beginnings and without any support, this branch of aviation could soon be brought to a considerable height, as the numerous victories at the first Sudeten German model sailing competition in Moravian-Schönberg in August 1938 prove. Thus, the work of the Association of German Pilots and of the model pilots in the German Turnverband is very well involved in the preparation of the ground for the aviation idea in Brno and these pre-trained men formed as guys of the subject a valuable help in the construction of the local two storms. The gymnastic youth pre-schooled in the Turnverband found their entrance in the aviation HJ. When, after the decree of the deputy of the leader, full construction work was started on 17 April 1939, the strength of the building tower soon necessitated its division into two The Honorary Tower deo NS Flieger torpo Brüun at Schwedenfent on 20 August 1939
