Re: FD5562/45 - Beitrag zur Beschaffungsmeldung Dec 44
Hello Steve,
Your first name should be altered in Sherlock, what a nice find ! For me the He219D-1 was always an intriguing subtype and it now seems more clear that one Vienna-produced He219A-2 was used as a prototype for the Jumo213 engine before it was decided that Heinkel Vienna was allowed to produce a small batch of 5 He219D-1's.
The first D-1's were already delivered in December 1944, the other one(s) in January 1945 but by then the decision to stop all He219 production was already taken.
Again many thanks for this essential piece of information !
Warm greetings, Marcel
