FW-189 wire to the MG?
Can you please tell me, what is that wire or pipe, going into the MG of the FW-189? Is it for warming or for cooling the MG? Or is it exhaust for the gasses? Thanks!

I would guess a warming device...

Re: FW-189 wire to the MG?
Thanks for your response! It was identified - this is wire, connected to an electric motor. And the electric motor rotates the cone end of the cockpit, in order to let the machinegun defend much more space in the back, to shoot in more directions.
