Heer Aviation of World War II

[Edward L. Hsiao]

What kind of German aircraft that used by the Heer? The Heer doesn't have a air force of its own but I know that the pilots of the Heer had flown Fi-156 Storchs before. The Heer pilots had also flown helicopters late in 1944 and much in 1945. What other aircraft they flew? Bi-planes?

I known the Heer pilots of WWII were not test pilots and they don't fly ground attack planes and jet fighters at all. Maybe they flew liaison planes like the Messerschmitt Bf-108 and small sports planes that were converted to military use. I still wonder if the Heer pilots flew these small military sports planes armed with anti-tank rockets in defense of Eastern German cities against the Soviet invading army in 1945.
