Rasmussen- As I noted (see above), two rows were mispositioned, but only two, so the numbers from my data show 107 Erla G 14AS produced, as the bold numbers indicate, the split by plant could be off for Dec 44 , Feb and Mar 45. I had to make a choice of how to present the data, this was my compromise.
Rasmussen- “ I guess the documents are to "old" and wrong or incomplete in many parts”. Hell no! The sources were chronologically correct, from RLM sections that had to do with production and distribution and more definitive than any other overall documentation I have seen! My sources are now identified, where did you get your information?

Hello Artie Bob,
my sources are the original monthly calculation reports from Erla to the "Reichsminister der Luftfahrt und Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe" in Berlin W8, Leipziger Str.7, from 01/44 - 04/45. So the line of G-14/AS was the following: August - 28, September - 95, October - 9, November - 3. This number is crosschecked for example by the original "Lieferung Bf 109 nach Plan 227 laut Besprechung mit F2 am 4.12.44 u.6.12.44" from 6.12.44 where in the column "Lieferung bis 30.11.44" is written "135". So the point can be that the RLM taked over 107 a/c but Erla delivered for sure 135 a/c.
And regarding the K's the statements of your documents are "old" for sure - source: "secret information number 86" from 25.January 1944 regarding "RLM Lieferplan 225/1 vom 1.12.43, Besprechung der Arbeitsgruppe 109 am 21.1. in Regensburg". The same with the G-5/R2 - source: "Programm vom 19.7.44" from 25.7.44 with the addition "(diese Fz werden bei Erla Antwerpen auf G-5/R-2 umgerüstet. AS-Motoren werden aus Serienbeständen von Werk I entnommen.)" A lot of this G-5/R2/AS were found in Antwerpen on September 03 (or 04?),1944, W.Nr.'s are known. So the text "scheduled not built" cannot be right.
Best wishes
Rasmussen
