Hitler used a Deutsche Luft Hansa Junkers Ju 52 for campaigning the 1932 German election, preferring flying to travel via train. After he became German Chancellor in 1933, Hans Baur became his personal pilot, and Hitler was provided with a personal Ju 52. Named Immelmann after the WW1 ace Max Immelmann, it carried the designation D-2600.
The first three-engine prototype, powered by three 410 kW (550 hp) Pratt & Whitney Hornet engines, flew on 7 March 1932.
