The Henschel Hs 124 was Henschel's entry into the Luftwaffe's twin-engine Kampfzerstörer (heavy fighter/light bomber) requirement, but was abandoned after this programme was split into separate Zerstörer (heavy fighter) and Schnellbomber (fast bomber) requirements.

It was fitted with a rotating turret with two 7.92mm MG 15 machine guns in the nose.

The Hs 124 V2 had two 870 PS (860 hp; 640 kW) BMW 132Dc 9-cylinder radial engines and was armed with two 20 mm Mauser cannon, as well as a 7.92mm MG 15 machine gun, carrying up to 600 kg of bombs.
