During April or May 1944, Henschel submitted their proposal to the RLM, by which point wind tunnel testing of the basic layout had already commenced. A contract for six prototypes was approved in May 1944. Construction of three prototypes commenced at the company's Schönefeld facility during March 1945. Hs 132 V1 was scheduled to have its first flight in June 1945, however, advancing Soviet forces captured it along with the other two incomplete prototypes during May 1945. Allegedly, while the wings and fuselage of He 132 V1 had been completed, they were never mated and the wings had never been transferred from their factory outside of Dresden.
The Hs 132B was to have been powered by Jumo 004 engine, it also would have added a pair of MG 151/20 cannons and the Panzerblitz anti-tank missile. The HS 132C was a more extensively modified version that was intended for bomber interception; it featured the larger Heinkel HeS 011 engine, two 20 mm 151/20s and two 30 mm MK 103 or MK 108 cannons.The HeS 011, was still in the pre-production phase when the conflict ended.
