Designed to tow the giant Messerschmitt Me 321 glider, the Heinkel He 111 Z has achieved relative success in this role. The link below provides an entensive report and photos showing a bit of its history:

I have always been fascinated by the Zwilling, I know a kit manufacturer has made one in 1/72 scale and it was a very impressive beast!

Thanks for posting this - on the IL2 combat flight sim I've shot a few of these down in my Hurricane

Fascinating beast the Gigant,the triple tow the Zwilling replaced would have been interesting to watch.One of the triple tows crashed killing all the pilots and troops that were aboard.At the time it was the biggest loss of life in an aircrash,around 120.
