The most successful model of the series HE 111 was the H, which entered
service in 1939. There were made of those 6.150 units of different
versions. Derivative of the prototype HE 111P, it was incorporating
as innovation both engines Junkers Jumo 211 and some technical characteristics
that it were providing with a bigger movement and more power.
Besides, it was provided with
a bigger tank of fuel, an armament so much offensively as more complete
protection and a more effective shielding, which was making it suitable
for very different missions as the assault against ships - what was
demonstrated in the blockade against England-, parachutists-throwing,
the throwing missile or the tow of gliders. When it entered service
the giant glider Messerschmitt ME 321 began to make the model HE 111Z,
actually the union of two fuselages of the models HE 111H-6 or H-16
that were incorporating a fifth engine joined a new central part.
