 He111 at Frederick 2000
The Heinkel company in Germany flew the first prototype He 111 in February of 1935, however as with so many aircraft types developed at that time, it was supposedly designed to be an airliner, and entered service as such with Lufthansa in 1936.
The He 111 went through a large number of different versions, varying by the powerplants that were used, the defensive armament, and the bombloads and bomb carrying mechanisms (internal to the fuselage, external and even in cells within the inner wing sections).
With no real opposition the Heinkels of Germany's Condor Legion were able to carry their internal bombloads of 1000 kilograms (2205 pounds) with impunity, their most famous or infamous action being the bombing of the town of Guernica.

From the beginning, the He 111 was designed to fulfill the roles of both bomber and commercial aircraft.
It was equipped as a medium bomber, with provision for a 1000-kg (2200-lb) internal load of bombs (which were stowed upright), and had an armament of three 7.9mm (0.311-in) MG 15 machine-guns; one each in nose and dorsal positions and one in a retractable ventral “dustbin”.
With such numbers available, it was inevitable that the He 111 would be called upon to undertake a wide variety of roles in addition to the standard bombing role.
