    24-page program for the NSFK glider competition of 1939 (quite close to the start of the war!). Inside are photos of gliders and leaders of the NSFK, and there are two pages listing all of the competitors. Size is about 8.5 inches tall by 6 inches wide.  Has anyone seen another or similar?  I have not been able to find a comparable item.

    It isn't something that I keep an eye for but it looks interesting. I wonder how many of the competitors went on to serve in the Luftwaffe?

    From the competitor list inside, you can see that there are several Luftwaffe and even a couple Lufthansa competitors.  There are also some organizations that I don't recognize.

    Pity that there are no first names or years of birth but I wonder if this is the same man as the one listed at number 61:

     

    Feldwebel Herbert Oberschachtsick

     

    5./Luftlandegeschwader 2 (a glider unit)

    Killed in action: 3rd Sept 1943 at Konotop
