Re: He 219 shot down by 8th AF
Hello gents,
Quite amazing that Murawski (the He219 Vol.2 publication of Kagero?) comes with this statement whereas the 8th USAAF does not mention any claims on He219's at all.
On 4th August 1944, the Heinkel Works at Rostock were severely damaged by the 8th USAAF, seriously interrupting the He219 production line there.
I will check the KTB of the I./NJG 1 whether they had any He219's in the region that time (perhaps at Grove/Denmark) but otherwise I have no idea from which unit He219's could have been deployed in daylight.
Best regards, Marcel
