A relatively sophisticated design the He 219 possessed a variety of innovations including Lichtenstein SN-2 advanced VHF-band intercept radar also used on the Ju 88G and Bf 110G night fighters. Modrow was credited with 33 of his 34 night air victories on the type. Ernst-Wilhelm Modrow was the leading night fighter ace on the He 219. Had the Uhu been available in quantity it might have had a significant effect on the strategic night bombing offensive of the Royal Air Force; however only 294 of all models were built by the end of the war and these saw only limited service.
