Hanna Reitsch

Hanna Reitsch (29.3.1912 - 24.8.1979) was a German aviatrix. She was one of the few German women who worked as test pilots during the Nazi era, and was considered as a national celebrity. She was also the first female to fly a helicopter. According to rumors, Reitsch was romantically involved with General Robert Ritter von Greim. She flew the plane which took them both to Berlin, where Greim was appointed as the new commander of the German Air Force.

Parodies
Reitsch and Greim had a dinner with Adolf Hitler, which became the setting for many parodies. Reitsch is considered the second-dumbest charachter in the Downfall universe, right after Greim himself.
