The Treaty of Versailles gave Germany the opportunity to maintain civil aviation and to maintain its aviation industry. The lack of military aviation has led the state authorities to concentrate their efforts on the two essential factors of any aeronautical organization, namely: keeping the scientific, technical and constructive tradition intact, and training the flight crew. The German Air Force has a directorate dependent on the Reich Ministry of Communications and comprising 4 offices: I. a) Aviation policy; b) international issues; c) relations with the aeronautical commission of the League of Nations and the German government; II. to) meteorological service; b) organization of the air network; c) management of overhead lines; III. technical issues (motors, cells). IV. a) aviation industry; b) information. The Civil Aviation Directorate is in contact with the Ministry of Post (organization of air mail; lines and times), with that of the interior (air police) and with that of foreign affairs (air policy abroad, international air conventions).
