Re: FW 190 w/n 173056

All the Fw 190A-8 with WNr. 17xxxx were manufactured at Cottbus, the WNr. 173056 left the assemly line in July 1944.

"nat" was the manufacturer code for Fw Marienburg (not Marienberg), this plant was 100% destroyed in an air raid on 9.04.44 while producing Fw 190G-8 long range fighter bombers.

May be that some undamaged subassemblies from Marienburg were shipped afterwrds to Cottbus - but I do not have information about.
