DFS Weihe D-11-184 launched at the Wasserkuppe by the crew at bottom left in a pre-war gliding competition.
D-11-184 was the first DFS Weihe. The wings on this prototype had slightly less dihedral than production models. All DFS Weihes had slightly shorter noses and smaller cockpit canopies than the Jacobs-Schweyer version which was produced later in larger numbers. Again, the swastika had been retouched on the original negative.
