This chapter deals with the German turbojet engine developments during the war period 1940–1945, and separately, in continuation of Sect. 6.2.5 for Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwer-ke AG, Dessau and the JFM team of chief designer Dr. Anselm Franz, in Sect. 8.1.1,—and in continuation of Sect. 6.2.4 for BMW Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, Berlin-Spandau and the activities of Dr. Hermann Oestrich and his development team, in Sect. 8.1.2. Already in 1941, the aero engine group of BBC Brown Boveri & Cie., Mannheim, led by chief designer Hermann Reuter was contracted by RLM to support BMW by alternative, exchangeable axial compressor designs; related information can be found in Chap. 9 as a highlight of Hermann Reuter’s engineering work. Finally, wartime work at Heinkel-Hirth at Rostock-Marienehe and Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen of chief designer Dr. Hans-Joachim Pabst von Ohain and his relatively small team, supplemented by Max Adolf Mueller and his larger group up to his leave in early June 1942, are collected in Sect. 8.1.3.
