At the suggestion of his personal pilot [[Hans Baur]], [[Adolf Hitler]] specified a modified and unarmed prototype Condor, the Fw 200 V3, as his personal transport, as a replacement for his [[Junkers Ju 52]]. Originally configured as a 26-passenger ''Luft Hansa'' transport (Works No. 3099), it was reconfigured as a plush two-cabin airliner. Hitler's armchair-style seat in the cabin was equipped with a wooden table, seat-back armour plating, and a parachute in the seat cushion, with an escape hatch in the floor. In line with Hitler's aircraft preferences, it carried the markings "D-2600" and was named "Immelmann III" in honour of World War I flying ace [[Max Immelmann]]. As the war progressed it changed designation to "WL+2600" and finally "26+00"; it was destroyed at [[Berlin Tempelhof Airport]] in an Allied bombing raid on 18 July 1944. FW 200s of various types were configured as VIP transports, for the use of Hitler and his staff, other aircraft being assigned to [[Heinrich Himmler]], [[Albert Speer]], [[Hermann Göring]], and [[Karl Dönitz]].<ref>{{cite web |title=What Happened to Nazi Leaders' Luxury Planes? |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp9QNPtdDfo |website=youtube.com | date=30 August 2022 |publisher=[[Mark Felton]] |language=en |access-date=7 September 2022}}</ref><ref name = "smithkay 207">Smith and Kay 1972, p. 207.</ref>
