In 1935 Germany finally departed from the terms of the Versailles Agreement, which following the conclusion of WW I prohibited the country from possessing any offensive weapons, including fighter aircraft. One of the first proper fighters to be taken up by the Luftwaffe once again was the Heinkel He 51. This biplane became one of the mainstays of the Air Force, and its role, which initially was considered to be exclusively in air combat, was expanded to include use as a light bomber or for air support.
