No prototypes had been flown, or even a design agreed, when the German air ministry - the Reichsluftfahrtsministerium - responded in the autumn of 1938 to a proposal from Messerschmitt by ordering 2,000 new fighters. The origins of the Me 210 and '410 go back to 1937 and a requirement to replace the twin-engined Bf 110 Zerstorer - 'destroyer' or heavy fighter. The new machine was to be capable of carrying a 1,000kg bomb, have a dive-bombing capability and better defensive armament.
