The Junkers Ju-52/3m was produced by the renowned German aviation company from the early 1930s for civilian use with Lufthansa and other major commercial airlines. It was characterized by its three-engine configuration and distinctive corrugated metal fuselage panels. A robust and reliable aircraft, it was quickly adopted for military purposes by the Luftwaffe, primarily as a transport aircraft. The Ju-52, affectionately nicknamed 'Tante Ju' (Auntie Ju), was used on all operational fronts throughout the duration of the war and served as the backbone of German military logistics in supplying ground troops. It was also employed for airborne troop missions, notably for paratrooper drops in the Netherlands in 1940 and in Crete in 1941.
