THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT so please don´t repeat that mistake! According to a document of the Heinkel industry, the first Mosquito victims to He219 was not earlier then May 1944 !

In the same date, in the first mission with the UHU, Major
Werner Streib, and his funker Obergefreiter Helmut Fischer shot down five RAF bombers, (4 Halifax + 1 Lancaster). They supported by the land control with Walter Knickmeier, or my infos incorrect?
salute!
