From stellar evolution simulations (using MESA) we conclude that the fatal common envelope evolution (CEE) channel for the formation of Type IIb core-collapse supernova (SN IIb) progenitors can indeed account for some SNe IIb. In the fatal CEE channel for SNe IIb a low-mass main-sequence secondary star inspirals inside the giant envelope of the massive primary star and removes most of the giant envelope before it merges with the giant core. The key ingredient of the scenario studied here is that the tidally destroyed secondary star forms a new giant envelope. The mass-loss process in a wind during the evolution from the merger process until core collapse, i.e. until the explosion, leaves little hydrogen mass at explosion as inferred from observations of SNe IIb. In the case of a massive primary star with a zero-age main-sequence mass of M-ZAMS = 16M(circle dot) that during its giant phase swallows amain-sequence star of mass M-2 = 0.5M(circle dot), we find at explosion a hydrogen mass of M-H similar or equal to 0.02-0.09M(circle dot), depending on the rotation we assume. We find similar values for M-ZAMS = 12M(circle dot).
