During the final war-phase, Henschel Factory went into planning for a nuclear rocket-bomb (Henschel Hs 315) project, which was earmarked for long-range missions. At the end of 1944, actual work started and two main goals for the project were defined: Development of a weapon to be probably decisive for the outcome of the war and therein the decision that Henschel Hs 130 (high altitude bomber) project was to be continued, since in February 1944,Erhard Milch, Head of RLM (Reichsluftfahrt-Ministerium, German Airforce Ministry), had given orders to discontinue all works for Hs 130 and to scrap all existing prototypes. In order to get the maximum range, Hs 315 had not only two stub wings at the fuselage tip, it was to have also circular (3,4m length) wings at the end of the fuselage area. The flying bomb, weighing up to 6.4 tons was to be propelled by a Diglycol-powder rocket motor and had a planned maximum velocity of 1,000 km/ph. It was to be transported by a Henschel Hs 130 A or Hs 130 E to a height of 16,000 m before release to mission. In order to get best target accuracy, Hs 315 was also to be wire-guided. Additionally to this project, Henschel Factory in Kassel had also a research department for nuclear-physics, which worked on the development of an uranium bomb. With enemy troops approaching Kassel, most documents concerning Hs 315 were destroyed.
