List of DB 605A engine construction numbers?

[Dénes Bernád]

Is there any list of DB 605A engine construction numbers available?
Particularly, I am interested to learn where were the ones in the 00400xxx series manufactured?
Thanks,

Hello Dénes,

According to the data I managed to collect the DB605 in the 004-xxxxx range were A-1 and AM models produced by the Donau-Flugzeugbau, Csepel-Budapest. Producer code was "kwn".

Thank you, Tomislav! Confirms what I suspected: those were Hungarian-made engines.

Hello Tomislav,
First, I concur regarding the 004 xxxxx Donau-Flugzeugbau connection.
Second, are you aware who produced DB 605 engines within the 112 xxxxxx series?
Thank you in advance,
Steve Sheflin

This is very interesting to me! The post WW2 British Intelligence Sub-Committee (BIOS) might include this production in its report from the Unterturkheim DB records in 1945. The BIOS report shows DB605 total production as 41,176 until the end of 1944. It lists the total DB605 production by Manfred Weiss AG Budapest as 1,210 engines, up to the end of 1944. Does this tie-in with your information? Thanks

Hello again Tomislav,
I think you are on to something there.
Now that you point out the pattern, it seems patently obvious.
Thank you for your insightful answer.
Respectfully,

Hello Steve,

I have no solid proof for the 112-xxxxx series, but if we follow the logic of markings from other known producers - for example the Daimler-Benz Motoren GmbH, Genshagen Kreis Teltow (hsq), they produced the DB605 with serials 7xxxx (A-1), 007-xxxxx (A-1, B-1, AM, ASM, ASO & ASMO) and 117-xxxxx (D,DB, DM & DMO).
That should indicate that the 112-xxxxx were produced by the same producer as the 002-xxxxx serials, which was the Niedersächsische Motorenwerke GmbH (NMW) "NiMo", Braunschweig-Querum (hss).

Thank you Tomislav!
I have quoted this post here for extra appreciation! Cheers

That is a great list Matti! Very generous of you to post it!
I will have to study these latest imputs later. In the meantime, some of the late numbers remind me of what I called the "Digital" DB605, it had a number like, 011100101. Never mind! Thanks,

SM
