Heh - Codename, Panzers ?

I think the question is bit artificial, these are totally different class of transport. The JU 52 was well thought out, reliable and practical transport plane, well fit for any normal transport requirement of the war - and well beyond, they are still working.
The Gigant on the other hand was a completely unique transport with unique abilities at that time - almost ten times the weight can be carried than the Tante Ju, and even more importantly, vehicles, even medium tanks that were before unthinkable to be transported via air! I can think it can be considered the forerunner of the large modern military transports of today like the Galaxy or Hercules.
