1. He 219 Uhu was Germany’s “night shift” interceptor

2. Built to jump bombers while they thought it was safe

3. Packed radar, basically wallhacks for WWII

4. Had upward-firing guns so bombers never saw it coming

5. Twin engines, stable, didn’t fly like a drunk brick

6. Loaded with 30 mm cannons that erased planes fast

7. One of the first planes with ejection seats, safety before it was cool

8. Crews actually liked flying it, rare German W

9. Showed up late when Germany was already cooked

10. Great plane, wrong time, bad management as usual

1. The FuG 220 SN-2 radar let the He 219 hunt bombers in pitch-black skies

2. Radar operator guided the pilot straight onto the target

3. The He 219 was one of the first aircraft with ejection seats

4. Both crew members could punch out, rare luxury in WWII

5. System used explosive charges, violent but effective

6. Advanced radar to fight, advanced seats to escape, way ahead of its time
