 The WWII Nazi DFS-230 Invasion Glider
Designed by Hans Jacobs, the DFS 230, which was developed in the greatest secrecy and began flight tests late in 1937, stemmed from trials conducted in the mid 'thirties by the Deutschen Forschungsinstitut fur Segelflug (DFS) with a large glider intended primarily for high-altitude meteorological research and originally conceived by Rh6n-Rossitten Gesellschaft.
For this task the DFS 230s were used in concert with Go 242s, and during the final stages of the battle, shortly before the town was relieved, the gliders were having to land in the streets under heavy fire, the losses in both gliders and trained personnel being heavy.
Towable by a variety of Luftwaffe aircraft, the DFS 230 used Jettisonable landing gear for take-off, and landing was accomplished on a central skid mounted beneath the fuselage.

Il DFS 230A-1, primo modello di serie fece storia il 10 maggio 1940, avendo avuto parte nella conquista, avvenuta nelle prime ore del giorno, della fortezza di Eben Emael (nel perimetro strategico del canale Alberto in Belgio) sui cui tetti atterro un gruppo di genieri d'assalto trasportato con alianti.
Tuttavia, la più importante azione in cui fu impiegato il DFS 230 fu certamente quella condotta esattamente un anno dopo nell'invasione di Creta; per rendersi conto del numero dei velivoli impiegati basti pensare che la sola squadra di testa era formata da 53 di questi aerei.
Il DFS 230B-1 era in lutto simile al DFS 230A-1, a parte la presenza di un paracadute frenante e la disponibilità di armamento dìfensivo.

In the first GITSG trial (7175), the combination of 5-FU and methyl-CCNU with radiotherapy continues to show significant improvement in local control and survival with 10-year followup compared with surgery alone and somewhat better than either modality on its own.
In the NCCTG study with a median followup of 6 years, the same combination is shown to be superior to radiotherapy alone (using DFS as the end point, overall survival is only marginally significant).
