Known for its versatility and adaptability, the aircraft was capable of carrying out a wide range of missions in its various versions, including strategic bombing, surface attack, and night-fighting operations. The Dornier Do 217K variant was specifically distinguished by a reinforced fuselage, redesigned wing surfaces, and upgraded engines. It was further developed to carry and deploy the Ruhrstahl SD 1400 “Fritz X” radio-guided bomb—an advanced and pioneering weapon for its time—mounted on an underwing pylon. With this configuration, the Do 217K was primarily deployed in the Mediterranean theatre.

Due to external factors, it is often mistaken for the development version of Do-17. The first designs of the new aircraft were created as early as 1937, but serial production began at the end of 1940. The first unit to receive the Do-217 bomber version in March 1941 was the II Gruppe belonging to Kampfgeschwader 40 (II \/ KG 40). The Do-217 had a much greater range, speed, and bomb carrying capacity than the Do-17. This was mainly due to the use of much more powerful engines - BMW 801A with 1540KM or DB 603A with 1726KM. Over the course of the war, over 1,900 Do-217 different versions were produced.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_attachment\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_attachment\"\u003eThe basic version was the \"E\", which served as a medium bomber.
