Historical Description

The Heinkel He60 was a German biplane reconnaissance seaplane designed by Heinkel in 1933 and widely used by the Kriegsmarine – the German Navy during the 1930s and the early phase of World War II. The He60 operated mainly from the decks of German surface ships: heavy cruisers, battleships, and light cruisers such as Admiral Graf Spee, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. This seaplane played a significant role in maritime reconnaissance, artillery support, and patrol missions in the Atlantic, North Sea, and Baltic Sea before being replaced by more modern designs like the Arado Ar196.
