The plane turned out to be a very poor design.[1] It was a dangerous plane to fly and had many accidents.[1] It was used by Nazi Germany's air force (Luftwaffe) during the World War II in the Mediterranean and in Russia.[1] The Me 210 was replaced by the Messerschmitt Me 410 Hornisse (Hornet). It was almost the same plane but with more powerful engines.[2]
