Bomber B was a German military aircraft design competition dating to just before the start of World War II to develop a second-generation high-speed bomber that would both be a direct successor to the Schnellbomber design philosophy, and to replace all medium and heavy bombers then in service with the Luftwaffe.

In July 1932, the Reichswehr had been pursuing the Schnellbomber ( fast bomber ) concept.

While bomber development had temporarily outpaced fighter development in the 1930s, at the end of the decade fighters like the Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire entered service that had the performance to catch up with the Schnellbomber, and dramatically outgunning it by eight to one ( only one gun would normally be able to fire back ).

The Bomber B high-speed medium bomber design competition for the Luftwaffe started in July 1939 was meant to create an updated design to take over the original Schnellbomber role by later in World War II, and function with a heavier bombload than the earlier Schnellbomber designs were capable of carrying, but due to unavailability of the needed high power output engines-primarily the complex, 24-cylinder multibank Junkers Jumo 222-needed for such designs, no production aircraft were ever ordered under the Bomber B program.

Ironically the most successful Schnellbomber of the war was the bomber version of the British de Havilland Mosquito.

As the 1930s progressed the He 111 was refined, and the Dornier Do 17 Schnellbomber entered planning, production and service in 1936-37.

Although Richthofen had managed to prevent aircraft design from heading into mediocrity, and kept them specialised for particular tasks, Udet still influenced the selection of the multi-purpose Messerschmitt Bf 110 and the Schnellbomber designed Junkers Ju 88 by the end of 1936.

With the Ju 88, he insisted it have a dive bombing capability, though it was more suited to, and ideal for, the level bombing Schnellbomber concept.

The first aircraft adopted for the Schnellbomber role was the Heinkel He 70, but it soon was replaced by the Dornier Do 17 in that role.

The Germans considered the Mosquito a superior implementation of their own Schnellbomber concept.
