In the beginning of the 1930s, it appeared in the world that there was an idea of a high-speed bomber that could outstrip contemporary fighters. One of the objectifications of this conception became the twin-engine bomber He 111, designed by the German Heinkel Flugzeugwerke AG company.

Since May 1941, it has produced He 111H-6 planes with liquid-cooled Jumo 211F-2 engines of increased power, with VS 11 wooden, wider-horde propellers and more powerful armament. This variant could carry SC 1800 kg bombs or two LT F5b torpedoes externally.

The He 111H-6 was the most produced variant of Heinkel’s medium bomber. It produced approximately 1800 aircraft up to the end of 1942. The He 111H-6s saw service on all fronts as level bombers, torpedo bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, transports, and mine layers.
