1943-1734-425-2159
1944-2188-445-2633
Total-5010-1111-6121
This would be good for ~3000 He177's (without reservation for any spares), and for over 2000 a/c with 1/3rd reservation for spares. At least for me, this seems to be somewhat too much.
As for the Bussing numbers, they come from one of the USSBS -reports and are for the amount of coupled DB605-units (that is DB610-units). I wonder if the BIOS-report counts are for the DB605's allocated for the DB610 -units, and thus should be actually divided by two?
That would give roughly 3000 engines, which would be good for roughly 1000 a/c (which was the amount of DB610-engined A-3's and A-5's) with 1/3rd reservation for spares. Any thoughts on this?
Cheers,

Hi Juha!
The BIOS report was compiled from DB records at Unterturkheim. They refer to the DB610 specifically as "610=2x605 coupled". I would expect that the figures quoted are exactly as recorded by DB. The other figures for the 610 production are Niedersachsische Motorenwerke: 1942-482, 1943-850, 1944-970.
That gives totals:
1942-1570, 1943-2584, 1944-3158. Grand total, 7,312.
I guess a review of the actual DB archiv would be one way to try and confirm the record.
Best wishes,
SM
