Re: He 219 W.Nr. 310316

Hello

I made a small mistake:
1th A-7 production batch = 310106 up and including 310115: 10 aircraft (not 15)
2nd A-7 production batch = 310181 up and including 310230: 50 aircraft
3rd A-7 production batch = 310311 up and including 310330: 20 aircraft

EHW produced 12 pre-production He219's, 106 (of 120 ordered A-0's), 15 A-2's and 5 D-1's >> 138 aircraft in total
EHR produced 15 A-0's, 80 A-2's and (at least) 80 A-7's >> 175 aircraft in total. Therefore the present known total production number is 313 Heinkel He219's. Because Rostock was not liberated before the end of April 1945 by Russian forces, the A-7 production might have continued a bit longer but this is purely speculation on my part. Due to the chaos in the Third Reich in these last weeks, surviving primary sources are nearly absent to confirm this hypothesis.

Best regards, Marcel
