The Heinkel He 219, one of the most effective German combat aircraft, was used specially as a night fighter and was the very first aircraft to be produced in series with ejector seats. Its capability at the front was tested on the night of 11/12 June 1943 by Squadron Leader Streib of NJG 1 night fighter unit out of Venlo, Holland, who on this sortie was able to shoot down five enemy bombers. The He 219 achieved considerable success in combat against Allied bomber units due to the incorporation of new weapons technology such as the rear-mounted "Schräge Musik = hot music" (Mk 108 cannon).
