At the end of 1942, a modification of the He111H appeared which absorbed the best features of previous developments: the He111H-16’s powerful Jumo 211F-2 engines came from the He111H-6, and the enhanced armor protection of the most important components and units, and as in the He111H-11, carrying bombs inside the fuselage or on ETC 2000 external racks.
This version of the He111 was defined by the Luftwaffe management as standard, in that the manufacturer supplied additional equipment for the aircraft, which even in the field allowed it to be easily converted into various special-purpose modifications. The intensive combat service of the He111H-16 lasted from 1943 until the end of the war. Series production of the variant continued until the end of 1943, by which time a total of about 1,200 had been constructed. |
