Who the heck is this Herr Junkers you refer to? Is it Hugo Junkers who lost all his property, patents etc. when the Nazis took seized power in 1933 and died in February 1935 (so more than 70 years have passed since his death)? Well, the Ju 87 was developped after 1933 and the company was controlled by the Nazi state. I don't know why anyone should pay fees to anybody concerning the Stuka.
BTW, do newspapers and magazines pay royalties to Mr. Kalashnikov for every photo depicting someone holding an example of his automatic rifle?
