Re: Wreck of Bf 109 G-6 help info

Gradoli,v,

Thank you for posting the photos of your recovered Bf 109 artifacts on the forum.

At the risk of being redundant, I offer the following and hope it is of some interest.

Your first photo (the propeller hub) shows a Hersteller code (maker code) of “hzt,” representing:
VDM (Vereinigte Deutsche Metallwerke) Luftfahrtwerke A.G., Zweigniederlassung Werk 1, Hamburg-Großflottbek, Kluckstr. 4.

Your fourth photo is, I believe, of the engine block and illustrates:
DB 505 A-1 Werknummer 00201577, built by Pommersche Motorenbau, Stettin/Altdamm. There may be a three-letter Hersteller code of “hss” somewhere on the engine.

My database of Pommersche Motorenbau-built DB 605 A-1s consists thirty-six entries ranging from WNr. 00200165 to 00207907.
