The name
Junkers is well known in connection with aircraft, which were produced under this name for the
Luftwaffe during
World War II. They were instrumental in many campaigns such as bombing
Guernica and airborne landings on
Crete with Ju 52, or massive bombardments by
Ju 87 Stukas). By this time, however, the
Nazi government had already seized control of his businesses, and
Hugo Junkers himself was dead.
World War II saw Junkers factories as a leading producer of military aircraft such as the Ju52[?] "Tante Ju" and the Ju 87 Stuka dive-bomber.
