This photograph, taken in 1940, shows a German Messerschmitt BF-109 fighter being tested in a wind tunnel at the Deutsche Luftfahrt Forschungsanstalt (German Institute for Aeronautical Research).
====
This site had low buildings, protected by the cover offered by the trees in the region. The site had 1500 workers and was never bombed by the allied side. The 2 men at the bottom of the photo give an idea of the size of the wind tunnel and, in the background, the written message says something like: “The German people will, through the conquest of the air, impose their due and rightful place in the world"
 
DFS 228. In 1944 Germany experimented with the concept of high altitude reconnaissance glider, the DFS 228 being the result. Tests were done carrying them on a bomber, although the final design envisioned the glider equipped with a small rocket to climb to high altitude and glide back home later.
