Re: He-219 ”Uhu”s found at the end of the war
As always when researching the He 219, for every two steps forward you take one back: the later publications indeed tend to correct many old mistakes as well as providing some new information, however, they also raise new questions…
Chris, the two new books are most welcome (the one by Francis Ferguson is already released I believe), but there are still some mystery puzzles regarding the story of the Uhu that remain unsolved. Earlier this year Valiant Wings also released an updated volume of Richard Franks’ excellent book (first published in 2012), providing som new and most welcome information – however, it still includes a couple of errors and contradictory information. AndyMa, thanks a lot for your additions! The final location of WNr 290004 could very well have been Münster/Handorf; I have it listed at Paderborn albeit with a questionmark, so this will require some further investigation. So, if we update the list we would get something like the below (I have added known Stammkennzeichen and operational codes): Schwechat (5 pcs total according to some sources) 190011 VO+BC damaged/destroyed 190062 RL+AB destroyed (possibly found elsewhere than at Schwechat?) 190068 RL+AH / VO+BC destroyed 190071 RL+AK destroyed 190106 DV+DB destroyed 190193 BE+JF / G9+EK destroyed Ludwigslust: 310190 KO+HT destroyed 310202 KZ+UH destroyed 310214 KZ+UT destroyed Lechfeld (3 pcs total) 190104 RL+AW ok 190176 GU+BI ok 190179 GU+BL ok Westerland/Sylt (45 pcs total) 190130 GU+BF ok 290117 ok 290123 G9+TH ok 290124 ok 310106 KO+HA ok 310112 KO+HG ok 310114 KO+HI ok 310182 KO+HL / G9+VH ok 310188 KO+HR ok 310208 KZ+UN ok 310215 ok 420331 G9+DB ok Halle 310193 KO+HW damaged Münster/Handorf 211116 G9+UL destroyed 211121 G9+DL destroyed 211124 290004 G9+DH destroyed (possibly found at Paderborn?) 290057 CS+QD destroyed 290059 CS+QF / G9+BH damaged 290199 GI+KN destroyed 290200 GI+KO / G9+CB destroyed Paderborn 290004 G9+DH destroyed (possibly found at Münster/Handorf?) Soltau (6 pcs total) 310185 KO+HO destroyed Hörsching 190060 PK+QJ ok Karup/Grove (7 pcs total) 210903 SP+CR / G9+LP ok 290060 CS+QG ok 290126 D5+BL ok 290202 GI+KQ / G9+KQ ok 310109 KO+HD / G9+VH (?) ok 310189 KO+HS / D5+CL ok 310200 KZ+UF / D5+DL ok Kastrup (1 pcs total) 210901 B4+AA ok Eger/Cheb 190121 DV+DQ damaged 190223 BE+JU destroyed Münich-Riems 190113 DV+DI destroyed Hildesheim 290112 damaged Do we have any information on aircraft found at Rostock? Regarding Westerland/Sylt: there have been rumours of an inventory list of captured/surrendered aircraft there - is this list possibly available somewhere? |
