Re: FD5562/45 - Beitrag zur Beschaffungsmeldung Dec 44
Hello Steve
Your assumption is (again) right but now I have been through the RL 2/III-611 up/including RL 2/III-620 (daily aircraft allocations to the Luftflotten), it is a hell of a job to compare these numbers with Nigels magnificent analysis about production and deliveries.
So far I have not been able to track reliable evidence nor indications where the He219's for the OKL Reserve were stored (Welzow might be one of those airfields) and what happened with these surplus nightfighters.
The number so far: 24 He219's went to the OKL Reserve and never reached front line units (3 He219A-0, 21 He219A-7). It's my assumption that these were scrapped soon after, simply because there is ample evidence that the USSR and/or CSSR had more than 2 airworthy He219's after the war.
We keep going ! Best regards, Marcel
