Historical Information and Application

The Henschel Hs-123 A was designed at the end of the interwar period as a biplane assault aircraft. It entered service with the German Luftwaffe in 1936, making its combat debut during the Spanish Civil War, where it earned recognition for its structural durability and effectiveness in providing close air support. The true test for the Hs-123 came in September 1939 during the Polish campaign and later on the Eastern Front.
