Re: Unknown photo He 219 DV+DA W.Nr. 190105

Hello Stig

You are not the only one which is confused about the 210905 data and the 'jojo' like movements of this bird.

This confusion is caused by the Heinkel Archives in which two reports survived, referring to the same incident with 210905 in Wiesbaden Erbenheim:
- the first report (of 28 July 1944) refers to 210905, being an aircraft of the I./NJG 1 and even adding the Verbandskennzeichen G9+EK while their
- second report (of 31 July 1944) refers to the incident on 28 July, but now saying that the He219 belonged to the NJGr.10.

This second report has not been written as a correction to the 1th report but I think we should take it as a correction: this would be in line with the transfer from production to the NJGr.10 and so far I haven't been able to discover whether a He219 of the I./NJG 1 was flying operations in the direction of Wiesbaden.

That 210905 finally moved to the I./NJG 1 is not strange, I have several transfers of He219's from I./NJG 1 to Ekdo.Rechlin or II./NJG 1 as well.

Summaring it all: it is sometimes easier to rule out certain options (like the non existing 290105) than to present the truth what it correct. We struggle on...

Best regards, Marcel
