I have come across this aircraft before so it is good to get further details about it. When I first saw it I looked at the nose and thought it was designed by Junker as it does have something of the Stuka about it. The German navy seems to have made the same mistakes about its composition that were made by the Kaiser before WW1 in trying to compete against the Royal Navy with surface ships. Back then the submarine was an unknown entity but after WW1 they had a better understanding of how to use them. And it's not like Hitler planned to take on Britain anyway.
