Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!

Hello Tony,

Haven't been at this thread a while, after the announcement that further restauration work was postponed to the spring of this year, I missed your marvelous discovery that each He219 had its own cleaning servant

Which interpretation (English is not my native language) should I give to 'there is little more work to be done'. If meant ironically, one would expect some sort of sabotage; if meant literally, it could refer to the frequent complaints that new delivered He219's were not cleaned of 'Nieten' (remnants of the fasteners).

Perhaps it is to easy to suggest that one would expect more easily Russian-Ukrainian conscripted workers at the wing manufacturers in Mielec/Poland rather than Rostock-Marienehe, must check my papers.

All the best, Marcel
