Ok, this one should be easy. Hope I have my facts right.
It was the first bomber that was specifically designed as a bomber for the German Defence Force.

While the He 70 saw only limited service in training capacities during World War II, it was the Luftwaffe's first Schnellbomber and served as the antecedent for the majority of bombers involved in both the Battle of Britain and the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The He 70 is known mainly as the direct ancestor of the famous Heinkel He 111 which used its distinctive oval wings and streamlined fuselage in a twin-engine configuration. One can also see the close similarity of the designs in the tail section and cockpit of the early He 111. The He 111, which began service with the Luftwaffe in 1936, went on to become the major bomber type in the early years of World War II.

Sorry guys, it was a long day at work.
There wasonly a three month gap from the time the type began production and the public revelation and the offcial establishment of the Luftwaffe. Elaborate cover measures were no longer deemed necessary. This is a quote from one of my books.
