The German’s called it Tante Ju or Auntie Ju. Not pretty but got you there reliably. My great uncle told me about riding on one during WWII. They were still using them until the 1980s in parts of the world.

We saw her in San Antonio, her current home and got a briefing on the recovery. She was one of a dozen aircraft to set down on the ice that day. Amazing story about the event, recovery and restoration.

Another one: which US military leader served in World War 1, and there is still a famous German Tank where his HQ was in World War 2?
