Allied daylight claims of a He219 ?

[Delmenhorst]

Why does it have to be a daylight claim ??

[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Hello Delmenhorst,

You are right: it doesn't neccessarily have been a daylight victory but...

1) for a nocturnal claim one would expect that it was claimed by one of the many Mosquito's chasing around and Mark Huxtable's magnificent work about Mosquito claims gives no hits (yet)
2) a lucky rear gunner's claim is also possible but I have no knowledge about their successes in this phase of the war. Before seeking the proverbial needle in the haystack, I tried option 3
3) giving the limitations of no 1 and 2, it was worth trying - even if that sounds pretty desperate - to hear if someone had an 'Eureka' moment about He219 claims by daylight.

All the best, Marcel
