Marcel,

Good to hear from you.

I provided a link to the article in Air & Space magazine which describes the find I posted about (the writing inside the He219).

I did have a picture of the writing before I knew about this article, so I asked an acquaintance of mine who is from Russia to please do their best translation. They responded that it stated, " I am here all alone, with very little work left to do".

The writing was difficult to photograph so I would assume that NASM had qualified translator to review it firsthand.

On a different note, since the Werke Nr. of the one engine was determined on the Denmark aircraft, I contacted the Deutsches Museum Archive about their holdings of Heinkel Aircraft Company records. They said that they only have
records from a Stuggart factory and that most of the Heinkel records were destroyed as the war ended.

I inquired about any documentation relating engines numbers to airframe.

They responded that they could not locate any such records. They did provide a few pages, which I have attached here.

I am sure that you and many others have worked with the Deutsches Museum and with Heinkel records, but since I have not seen any postings about relating the two, thought I would give it a try. I had asked Steve about it and he knew of no such documents. The Museum staff were very cordial and very timely with their responses. Maybe some of you can find some useful information in the attachments.
