Lufthansa? Why not use a bunch of Luftwaffe C-160 transports instead? If the passengers cause trouble, toss ‘em out the cargo door.

“Lufthansa? Why not use a bunch of Luftwaffe C-160 transports instead?”

Decades ago, a man sued the US government because they were using army trucks to transport supplies and fuel. He won and got a contract transporting the very same stuff. He had to buy trucks as he wasn’t in the business until he had the contract. I believe it was around that time that Congress made the military give up all kinds of things that had been done by the military to maintain their bases and turn them over to contractors. It set up and entire industry and, I’m certain, led to a lot of donations to Congressmen. Probably Germany has the same issue. Their military is legally limited in what it can do that is not direcly related to defense.
