Codes of manufactures for Luftwaffe
 

Dears,

I would like to ask about web side with codes of German manufactures for Luftwaffe.

For example codes:
mb
bmw

By the way is it possible that on the inner side plating could be placed calcomanie with Werk Number ?

A while ago someone listed here a book on all German manufacturers, he published privately.
Check the Books section.

Hello Kris,

Regarding your three letters, bmw, if they are indeed a Hersteller code and don’t refer to (BMW) Bayerische Motorenwwerk AG, then they represent:

Aluminiumwerke Nürnberg GmbH/Ventikörper Gasmaske (1943), Nürnberg-S., Nopitschstr. 67 [Bay].

Dear All,

I believe the book in question is:

Deutsche Fertigungskennzeichen bis 1945 (German secret armament codes until 1945), by Michael Heidler, Visier-Edition, Das International Waffen-Magazin, Stand Feruar 2008. I paid $63.00 USD via PayPal, which included shipping to the U.S. I interacted directly with the author.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Richard
