Fly High

During the First World War, the aeroplane was further developed, produced in large numbers and used for reconnaissance and combat flights. The exhibition shows how aerial cameras, radio technology and weapons found their way into the aircraft and how the fighter pilots were glorified as "knights of the air". The exhibition contrasts this heroic image with the "invisible" work of ground personnel and female workers in the aircraft factories. During the Second World War, air warfare reached a new dimension. The widespread dropping of bombs destroyed European cities and cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians. The wreckage of a Ju 87 dive bomber symbolises the horror of the bombing war, and the exhibition uses the example of V2 production to show how forced labourers and concentration camp prisoners were forced to build German aircraft and rockets under inhumane conditions. Survivors have their say in interviews with contemporary witnesses. The Douglas C-47 visible from afar on the building of the German Museum of Technology is a reminder of the Airlift of 1948/49, when "raisin bombers" supplied the western sectors of the city with the necessities of life during the blockade of Berlin by the Soviet military. The exhibition uses individual examples to show how differently aviation developed in divided Germany. And the German Museum of Technology is venturing into space: the expansion of the exhibition on space travel is under construction.
