Sachsenberg, the brother of Hans, and Friedrich Patze, met with a certain Major Fischer of the ministry for defense to discuss the Turkish project. Sachsenberg asked for the ministry's "support in principle". Fischer indicated that the ministry was delighted to see a German firm implement a project of this kind. Moreover, it was fully cognizant of the fact that this undertaking would help to balance the financial risk of the work the company was then undertaking for the Reichswehr in Russia, where, under the auspices of the ministry's Gesellschaft zur Förderung gewerblicher Unternehmungen, an organization headed by Major Fritz Tschunke, Junkers had opened branch factories in Fili, near Moscow, and in Kharkov in order to build metal aircraft for military purposes.
