On the 2nd floor they have windows that allow you to look down into the general work area. The last time I went I just stood and drooled.

Yeah buddy, stir it up...I bet they get a lot of those. Modelers can be quite the anal group - present company excluded of course......
Well, there is also a percentage of members here who are pretty well versed in historical data, and when Erich expressed his concern, I knew I wasn't imaging things!

I always suspected so, but can't get it here to try it out.
Now I won't waste the time ...

Here's another great shot of a He219A.
This was with 1.NJG1, equipped with FuG-220d and was based out of Munster/Handorf late 1944, early 1945.

As far as beers go, I'd rather have a Stuka...with a name like that, it would most likely kick your ass...

It started as an He-219 thread and we should stop drinking and talk about the He-219. I'll see if I can remember to do that.
It's just that a Beer thread isn't exactly a WWII aircraft sibject, unless we dredge up the fact that US squadrons used to get beer and fly it up to high altitude to get it cold.
The Germans were lucky that way. All they had to do was set it outside the tent for a few minutes, at least in the fall, winter, and spring ... that had unfortunate other ramifications, however, and many Germans wondered if there wasn't a better way to get cold beer than declaring war. But, taking care of the beer came first. There's probably a good story in there somewhere ...
Meanwhile, the British built castles so they could have kitchens and thus have hot tea. It might have been easier to relocate the country to a warmer location than to build 1,000 castles. They built a really good Navy to do just that, but wars kept delaying the move. Probably a good story in there, too.

Perhaps better done in the Off-Topic subforum ... my mistake.

ok, so things are not perrfect. I get that, but you cant have everything, and so long as we continue to dream about beer and girls not necessarily in that order, Im happy to accept the other imperfections

Well, if you absolutely insist on another taste ...
One of my favorite shots:
Just because it is relatively high resolution and is real, not photoshopped or a model masquerading as a real aircraft.
