Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!

Hello Michaël,

I am still trying to get more knowledge on the He219 but when it comes to Rüstsatze, you better forget all what has been published so far. The famous phylosophical expression 'cogito ergo sum' (I think, therefore I am) could be a fitting summary of all myths around the He219 history: many elements of what Heinkel had in mind for and with his He219 got an own life in later publications as 'existing'.

The remark about failing ammunition, the remarkable absence of the MG 151's in the wingroots AND the almost 'clean' cut of the upper half of the fuselage aft the SM installation can be coincidence... or it might suggest that either in or after the war the wreck had been visited and stripped of the most accessible weapons and ammunition.

Marcel
