..they never did that, weirdly enough, these flat diesels were always
hung vertically in front of the wing or nose, a (very) few Ju-52 flew
with these, they were far more common in bombers like high altitude
Ju-86's and Dorniers, and always using the top idler as prop shaft.
2 cranks at each end, 3 idler gears between these, using the central
one would have made good sense laying it horizontally in a wing.

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
