In the late afternoon of 24 July 1936, alone Ju 52/3m airliner operated by Lufthansa touched down at Gatow airfield on the outskirts of Berlin. The Junkers tri-motor had flown in from Tablada, near Seville in southern Spain, which it had left that morning, making intermediate stops at Marseilles and Stuttgart. In addition to its German crew, aboard the aircraft were three passengers - two Germans and one Spaniard. The Germans were the businessman Johannes Bernhardt and mining engineer Adolf Langenheim, both resident in Tetuân, Spanish Morocco, and both dedicated members of the small, but active, Nazi Party contingent in that North African country. For the previous six years, Bernhardt, who had failed as an entrepreneur in Germany, had built up rewarding business contacts with the Spanish, his export company supplying the Spanish armed forces with communications equipment, cameras, stoves, range-finding devices and target equipment for the Ejército de Africa (Army of Africa). He also had close contacts within the right-wing Spanish officer cadre.
