Today we are going to look at different aircrafts used by dictators of WWII. These include a distinctive outfit, armoured and ideally black automobiles, an armoured train, and a specific troop of heavily armed bodyguards. A personal jet is the ultimate expression of authority for the genuinely ascending autocrat, and these trappings have now become standard for all international leaders, regardless of political inclination. Airborne leaders were a relatively new phenomena during international War II, and the trappings of World War II dictators have since become typical for all international leaders.
Beginning with his election campaigns in the late 1920s and early 1930s, Adolf Hitler was the first contemporary politician to fly by plane on a regular basis. His personal pilot, Hans Baur, persuaded him that the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor was better to the earlier Ju 52. Because of its massive 33-meter wingspan, the Condor was called after the giant Andean bird, and Hitler was usually flown by Baur, who eventually became a general in the SS rather than the Luftwaffe.
Hitler's plane's cockpit had an equipment compartment with the Flight Engineers panel, radio operator and navigator positions, two defensive positions, a top turret with a 13 millimetre mg 131 machine gun, and a ventral turret with a 7.9 millimetre mg 15. The personal cabin was protected by 12 millimetres of armour plate and 50 millimetres of bulletproof glass.
Hitler's unique parachute chair, which allowed him to escape through a hole in the aircraft's floor, was the most original element in the cabin. A passenger compartment with six chairs was located behind Hitler's stateroom. To reduce sun glare, privacy curtains were installed at each cabins' windows. The inside was made of polished wood, similar to a Pullman train coach. A steward delivered meals and hot drinks as needed, and the plane had a tiny galley in the back. Cooking was not permitted, and instead, insulated cabinets held pre-heated meals, hot coffee and hot water, tea, and no alcohol was provided on board.
Hitler's plane was followed by a second Condor, which was staffed with caring personnel like as military adjutants and maids. Security was tight, and precautions were taken to avoid the use of explosives. To avoid this, Hitler's plane was flown for a 10-15 minute test flight, including cruising altitude. This test flight was carried out to confirm that the barometric fuse did not make any ticking noises and exploded once the plane reached a specified height.
On July 18, 1944, an Allied bombing strike on Tempelhof Airport in Berlin destroyed Hitler's aircraft. He then flew a Focke-Wulf Fw 200 C4/1 type, which Heinrich Himmler and Grand Admiral Karl Donuts also utilised. At the conclusion of the war, Hitler was set to switch to a larger jet, the Junkers Ju 290, which was destroyed in Bavaria on April 24, 1945, during an American air strike. Hitler was still trying to lead Berlin's defence from his bunker.
At the conclusion of WWII, Hitler's replacement Condor aircraft was flown to Flensburg in northern Germany. In May 1945, British forces seized it undamaged and flew it to RAF Vanbrugh for examination in July. It was on public exhibition in October and November 1945 before being dismantled on December 15, 1946.
