This shape of prop bends indicate power was "off" on this engine. Usually when "power-on" engine props hit water they bend forward.

Forgot to congradulate on this remarkable find and recovery. Very interesting.
Some questions, Has wing been turned over for checking if remains of a code letter or remains of Stkz. are on underside? Is there dataplate on left aileron also? Photos do not show any.

Yes but rarely look it up.

If a code cannot be found on the wings, it was common practice to write the werk inside the fuselage, as well as on the reverse of large access hatches (radio, first aid, etc.).

Would definietly check there...

Dear all,

Ed North: thanks for this interesting observation of the prop blades, didn't know that but makes perfectly sense!

SES/Jörn: we really should try to find more on the exploits of the I./NJG 3 in Denmark (shouldn't you already have done so) because it seems more and more that this He219 loss occurred exactly in the time span between the I./NJG 3 receiving their first He219's and the 7 He219's found at Grove after VE-Day.

The NJ-Staffel Norway had only 1 He219 and that turned up sound and well on Kastrup/Kopenhagen. I do hope that ULTRA one day might reveal a hint or direct information about a He219 loss near the Danish coast... Knowing the Werkenummer is one thing, knowing the date would be the next challenge.

All the best, Marcel

Unfortunately I cannot add anything about the history of this plane, but I want to congratulate you with this very exciting find! A unique aircraft!
I'm really looking forward to know more about its history and to see the parts after cleaning. Good luck and keep up the good work!

One B4+AA is given as 210901, Wn looks strange for an He219, but I hv also an 210905...
