Actually, I am pretty sure Bernard was not on board. I know that Reichsmarschall Göring likes to command ground troops as well as the Luftwaffe. I bet he's trying to stick his nose in the Kriegsmarine as well. Which would mean that Bernard's Luftwaffe brother, Ludwig, was playing around with the dive planes .
