Re: Werner Streib's Career
Hello David,

We meet again! Well, about Streibīs career the necrology I have about him will help to fill in some after war exploits so I will check my Werner Streib file about that too.

One warning about Streibīs first operational combat in Heinkel He219. In much books has been written that "in the weeks after 11/12 June 1943, 20 bombers including 6 Mosquitoīs were shot down with He219īs" or similar phrases. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT so please donīt repeat that mistake! According to a document of the Heinkel industry, the first Mosquito victims to He219 was not earlier then May 1944 !

All the best, Marcel Hogenhuis
