I have to admit that I've not come across this information before and thought I would share it. It does translate:-

Having read the first link of this thread, it states that Erich Bachem designed his first caravan, an Aero Sport, for the Hirth Company, in 1937. This was before he went on to design aircraft and rockets for the Third Reich.

Here's the Aero Sport:- Aero Sport 01..jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)Aero Sport 02.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Immediately after WWII he went back to Hirth and designed the Hirth Tramp :- Hirth tramp.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

It's nice to see the original photos instead of the common copies circulating Facebook.

... still waiting for the obvious punchline, so I’ll say it -
Worked on Rockets but then came back down to Hirth!
😂😂😂 Sorry, couldn’t resist! 😞😞😞
