Originally built as an airliner, it was pressed into service when Germany went to war. This particular bird is a U.S. captured example and hence the name, All is Kaputt, that was mostly a joke. She was brought to the U.S. and used for testing until broken up for scrap, but during that process it was discovered that during it production someone placed a bomb in the wing to sabotage the plane, but, it never went off and only found after the U.S. was done with it! A real shame it was not preserved and only one is being pieced together now from other wrecks by the Berlin Technical Museum 3 Quote Link to comment
