In 2001 HBO and the BBC released a really superb docudrama about the 1942 Wannsee Conference starring Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci as Reinhard Heydrich and Adolf Eichmann respectively. An early scene shows an Fi-156 C-3 making a landing with Heydrich supposedly at the controls (Heydrich did fly himself to the Wannsee Conference in a Storch). The aircraft shown does not appear to be the same as this one, the unit markings are different. Still, there can't be many airworthy Fi-156s remaining -- by my count eight worldwide.

One of our school teachers (yes, I'm that old) flew Hurricanes and P40s with the Desert Air Force in north Africa and told us they had "souvenired" a Storch in the final drive west. One day it was coming in to land and a stiff desert wind came up. The Storch met it head on on the final approach and hovered like a hawk in mid air. Eventually the wind dropped and so did the aircraft.

They used to sell rides in it. Seen it fly several times. It was amazing to see it overhead almost hovering. With a reasonable headwind, it could even fly backward, and l once saw it land with NO rollout. The town complained about noise however and they no longer fly anything from that field. Except for last year, they were holding mock battles with WW2 tanks, armored cars, full uniforms, artillery, explosions, pretty impressive and LOUD. Shermans, a Stuart, a Staghound, a Priest, a Stug, a Hetzer, a Panzer IV, an 88, a Mercedes 4x6 staff car ,etc.

Each Warbird pilot, and crew are reenactors. Our ages are anywhere from 20 to 70 years old. We didn't fly these aircraft during the war. A majority of us weren't even born yet. But, we reenact how some of these aircraft were flown. When you see a warbird performing a "Bomb run" at an airshow, we're reenacting. The Collings Foundation adds to it by wearing uniforms.

Well, Otto Skorzeny was a huge dude, and the pilot was pretty apprehensive as the runway space was already small; but luckily for them they made it with all 3 of them in the Stork.

Holy cow! NEVER put your arm around the front of the prop like that! Always treat piston engines as though they will start inadvertently.

You're totally right! But that pilot ain't stupid, the contact was off and the motor cold.

The gun is always loaded, unless it's in pieces in front of you.

If the engine is hot it can kick over with the ignition off.

Only if the magneto ground wire is disconnected.

Spinning that propeller looks like a brave man's job.

What a sweet ride. Be safe. Cheers.

One was featured in "The Guns of Navarone" movie. :-)

They used one to get Mussolini away from his prison, and one was used to get a senior Nazi (forget which) out of Berlin. The best STOL aircraft of it’s time

Also the HBO movie "Conspiracy" (2001). A nice flying shot and then a landing shot. And, the movie is a must-watch.

Decolava e aterrisava em poucos metros. Avião incrível.

Siii realmente un avión increíble por lo que veo muy fácil de volar. Lástima que en la posguerra nos compramos toda esa chatarra de los "aliados" e Yankys"e Ingleses Memoria¡¡una vez que tuvimos un conflicto con uno de los socios piratas no nos vendían repuestos¡¡¡ ni siquiera los cartuchos para los asientos ejecutables que salvaba la vida de nuestros queridos pilotos. Hojala que esto lo lean 👇 las autoridades aeronáuticas con poder y facultad de Compra....

Excellent film footage and sound.

Earliest stol aircraft ahead of its time. Germans were incredible engineers especially with airplanes.

The airplane would perform better if there is no Hermann on board :D Nice vid!!!

this plane is a legend in germany ...

The Mark Felton theme song plays in my head and I remember Otto Skorzeny for some reason🤣✌

Saw one of these take off at an airshow - bit of a windy afternoon. I was amazed at how short the take off was.
