Re: Fw 190 A-8 NL?
The Flugzeugverteilung for Dec-Feb report 846 Fw 190 A-8 NL. So at least we know where the data originated. The C-Amts Monatsmeldung for Nov 44 and Jan 45 have no Fw 190 A 8 NL, but the number of Fw 190 A 8 in January is exactly that shown on the Flugzeugverteilung of Dec 44 for Fw 190 A 8 NL. On the Monatsmelduung, the only other Fw 190 A 8 quantities were for Fw 190 A 8 R2 and R11, this agrees with the Flugzeugverteilung.
I do not have any explanation for the meaning of "NL", except it is not included in the list of Zusatzbuchstaben I have , which defines these designations, however my copy is dated 20.4.43 and could have been out of date by late 1944. I can find no other use of "NL' neither for any other sub-type of the Fw 190 , Bf 109 or other aircraft. In practice, the Fw 190 A-8 NL appears to have been just a normal production
Fw 190 A-8.
Best regards,
