He219 and Flugzeug Überführungsgeschwader 1

[Marcel Hogenhuis]

Dear all,

For an ongoing He219 research project, I would love to know more about the ferry flights and losses of the Flugzeug Überführungsgeschwader 1 with this He219. What I understood so far, is that Gruppe 'Südost' of this unit transferred the He219's from Heinkel Vienna (Wien-Schwechat) to other units and that Gruppe 'Nord' did the same for He219's coming from Heinkel Rostock.

I am particulary interested in:
- He219 flights in logbooks (dates, callsign, from/to etc.)
- losses with He219's of this Geschwader

Some contributors already have sent several pieces of this puzzle, but perhaps other data might be known among others.

The He219 database constructed so far has led to many new insights about the numbers produced, the fates of individual aircraft. It also is an invaluable tool to check photocaptions of other He219 publications and to dismantle some very popular (and widely copied) myths.

Any help provided is much appreciated and will be quoted accordingly in the database! Best regards,

Marcel Hogenhuis
