The Polish campaign was a success for an aircraft considered obsolete by the "Luftwaffe" high command. Within a year, the Hs 123 was again in action in the "blitzkrieg" attacks through the Netherlands, Belgium and France. General Heinz Guderian was continually impressed by the quick turnaround time offered by II.(Schl)/LG 2. Often positioned as the "Luftwaffe"s most-forward based combat unit, the Hs 123 flew more missions per day than other units, and again proved their worth in the close-support role. With Ju 87s still being used as tactical bombers rather than true ground support aircraft and with no other aircraft capable of this mission in the "Luftwaffe" arsenal the Hs 123 was destined to continue in service for some time, although numbers were constantly being reduced by attrition.
