Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!

Although I am not familiar with the He 219 (!!) I would imagine that it is likely it follows other Luftwaffe types that have the Werke nummer painted in black numerals (about 1cm) on the reverse of removable panels; eg cowlings, inspection hatches, re-fuelling points etc etc. These numerals are the same style as the numbers that I mistakenly took to be the W.Nr on this wreckage. Just look for any trace of painted numbers on the inside of panels would be my advice. It might well be more reliable than looking for a data plate, and if you find such a number repeated then you clearly will have the W.Nr. From the looks of it, some paintwork/painted numbers under the mud and encrustations have survived so you might be lucky. I hope so!
