a light bulb went off in my head when the date was mentioned and upon further search in my data : this was the first combat mission flown by the prototype He 219 with Werner Streib at the controls. the crew shot down 5 RAF bombers and then crashed on landing tearing the cockpit free away from the fuselage at Venlo, Holland. Two of the bombers were from the 78th sqdn., 1 of them from the 115th sqdn.

too bad there is quite a bit of time frame expended Skipper these chaps need to get their records updated
