Description:

A partially covered fuselage of the DFS 230 assault glider can be seen at the Belgian Eben-Emael Fort, where this type, and assault gliders in general, were used in combat for the first time. The fuselage was reconstructed from 3 original wrecks; the work was supervised by the type's designer Hans Jacobs. It is one of 2 original examples of this glider in the world.
