Heinkel He 111 The Heinkel He 111 was a German aircraft designed by Siegfried and Walter Günter at Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1934. Through development it was described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" because the project masqueraded the machine as civilian transport, though from conception the Heinkel was intended to provide the nascent Luftwaffe with a fast medium bomber.

Staffelführer Staffelführer was one of the first paramilitary ranks used by the German "Schutzstaffel" (SS) in the early years of that group’s existence. The later SS rank of "Staffelführer" traces its origins to the First World War, where the title was used by commanding officers of the "Deutsches Heer"'s "Luftstreitkräfte" aircraft squadrons initially named as "Feldflieger Abteilung" as observation-only units in 1914, and during 1916, became known as "Staffeln".

Heinkel HD 43 The Heinkel Doppeldecker 43 was a prototype German fighter aircraft of the 1930s. A single-engined, single-seat biplane, the HD 43 was designed to meet a secret German "Reichswehr" requirement for a single-seat fighter. It had two-bay wooden wings with a steel-tube fuselage, and was powered by a 750 hp (600 kW) BMW VI engine. The single prototype flew in 1931.

Type 1936C destroyer The Type 1936C destroyer was a planned class of destroyer for the Kriegsmarine. The class was to be made up of five ships, "Z46", "Z47", "Z48", "Z49" and "Z50". They were designed to be an improvement upon the Type 1936A and B destroyers. Only two of the five ships, "Z46" and "Z47", were ever laid down, and work was halted for a year between 1942 and 1943. Work was constantly interrupted by numerous problems, chief among them air raids, material supply delays and a shortage of copper. The two ships that were laid down, "Z46" and "Z47" were blown up in their shipyards by Allied troops in 1945.

Junkers Ju 388 The Junkers Ju 388 "Störtebeker" was a World War II German "Luftwaffe" multi-role aircraft based on the Ju 88 airframe by way of the Ju 188. It differed from its predecessors in being intended for high altitude operation, with design features such as a pressurized cockpit for its crew. The Ju 388 was introduced very late in the war, and production problems along with the deteriorating war conditions meant that few were built.

Rüstsatz Rüstsätze (Luftwaffe) were field modification kits produced for the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. They were packaged in kit form, usually direct from the aircraft manufacturer, and allowed for field modifications of various German aircraft used in World War II, predominantly fighter bombers and night fighters. Rüstsätze kits could be fitted in the field, as opposed to "Umrüst-Bausätze" kits, which were typically fitted in the factory. This was not a hard and fast rule, however; during production runs various Rüstsätze kits were often fitted by factories in order to meet Luftwaffe demands, and "/R" designations were also occasionally applied to more complex changes in an aircraft's airframe design that were much more suitably completed at production line facilities, as with a few of the "/R"-designated versions of the He 177A-5 heavy bomber.

Messerschmitt Bf 109 operational history The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser during the early to mid-1930s. It was one of the first true modern fighters of the era, including such features as all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, a retractable landing gear, and was powered by a liquid-cooled, inverted-V12 aero engine.

Nachtjagdgruppe 10 "Nachtjagdgruppe" 10 (NJGr 10) was a German Luftwaffe night fighter "gruppe" (group) during World War II. It was formed on 1 January 1944 at Werneuchen with 3 "Staffel" (squadrons). It was subordinated to the 1. "Jagd-Division" (1st fighter division), stationed at Döberitz. On 6 March 1945, NJGr 10 transferred to Liebenwalde and disbanded in April 1945. The remnants of NJGr 10 were absorbed by Nachtjagdgeschwader 5 (5th Night Fighter Wing). Its main task was to explore new and revised tactical deployment of night fighters, test the latest search and detection equipment in conjunction with the test site for radar equipment under combat conditions ("Erprobung von Radarsysteme für die Nachtjagd"), and place the anti-Mosquito effort under a more centralised command.

Type 1936-class destroyer The Type 1936-class destroyers were a group of six destroyers built for Nazi Germany's "Kriegsmarine", during the late 1930s. They all participated in World War II although all but one were sunk or scuttled during the naval Battles of Narvik in 1940.

Hannover CL.III The Hannover CL.III was a German military aircraft of World War I. It was a two-seat multi-role aircraft, primarily used as a ground attack machine. Like the other Hannover "light-C-class", or "CL" designated aircraft designed by Hermann Dorner, it included an unusual biplane tail, allowing for a greater firing arc for the tail gunner. Until the introduction of the aircraft, such tails had only been used on larger aircraft.

SET 7 The SET 7 was a military trainer and reconnaissance aircraft that was produced in Romania in the mid-1930s. It was originally designed as a conventional single-bay biplane, with slightly staggered wings, a standard undercarriage with fixed tailskid, and a tandem open-cockpit arrangement for the pilot and instructor or observer. Power was supplied by an Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar radial engine, and from the outset the aircraft was equipped for wireless and photographic reconnaissance duties.

Ural bomber The Ural bomber was the initial aircraft design program/competition to develop a long-range bomber for the Luftwaffe, created and led by General Walther Wever in the early 1930s. Wever died in an air crash on June 3, 1936, and the program ended almost immediately. Albert Kesselring took over his position in the Luftwaffe, abandoning most of his designs and turning others into tactical bombers.

German submarine U-35 (1936) German submarine "U-35" was a Type VIIA U-boat of Nazi Germany's "Kriegsmarine". She was built three years before the start of World War II. The submarine was laid down on 2 March 1936 by Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft at Kiel, launched on 24 September 1936, and commissioned on 3 November that year under the command of "Kapitänleutnant" ("Kptlt.") Klaus Ewerth. The U-boat was featured on the cover of "Life" magazine on 16 October 1939, as in the days preceding, it "courteously" rescued all the sailors of a Greek ship that it was about to sink.

Focke-Wulf Fw 187 The Focke-Wulf Fw 187 "Falke" ("falcon") was a German aircraft developed in the late 1930s. It was conceived by Kurt Tank as a twin-engine, high-performance fighter, but the "Luftwaffe" saw no role for the design, perceiving it as intermediate between the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Bf 110. Later prototypes were adapted to two-seats to compete with the Bf 110 in the "Zerstörer" (heavy fighter) role, but only nine aircraft were built in total.

Fliegerstaffel 1 Fliegerstaffel 1 (No. 1 Squadron) was a professional military pilots squadron, therefore belonging to the Überwachungsgeschwader of the Swiss Air Force until its last service in 2003. At that point, it was equipped with Northrop F-5 and used the military airfield of Turtmann as a designated war base. Fliegerstaffel 1 carried a stylized Vogel Rokh as its coat of arms, a red background and a white figure 1 completed their emblem.
