I make out from the information that is provided that the German glider pilots did not use any other kind of transportation. Or maybe some more information pop up. That they used a car that they found on the side of the road with the engine running! Or a bicycle!
Anyway, the part that I am looking for is if the German glider pilots were trained and used as infantry just as the British glider pilots.

Now you´ve brought a perfect example with british gliderpilots. I think that you can compare it. German troops mostly were brought with the glider in areas in which infantry was needed. So - but what speaks against that soldiers drive each vehicle what they can find and what will bring them quickly to their target ? Better to drive than walk and save energy - not only typical for german soldiers in WW2, or ?
