Daimler-Benz DB 605 Engine Dataplate

[Dénes Bernád]

A Hungarian colleague of mine has found the dataplate of a Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine:
Constr. No: 00200334
Manufacturer's code: DFH

Can any details be found on this particular engine?
Which company manufactured it?

Thanks,

DFH : Fickert, Carl Maschinenfabrik, Schwarzenbach/Saale

Hi.

According to 'Liste der Fertigungskennzeichen für Waffen, Munition und Gerät' dated 1944, this dataplate points to a company called:

Carl Fickert Maschinenfabrik, in Schwarzenback/Saale

Probably manufactured part of the engine??

Regards,

"Probably manufactured part of the engine??"

AFAIK (via USSBS) there was no assembly of DB 605s in Schwarzenback/Saale.. of course USSBS could be wrong.

Below is a close-up shot of the serial number and manufacturer's code I just received.

Now that I see the actual photo, it occurs to me that the second letter could be a faulty stamped 'E' instead of 'F'.

Any comments?

Reportedly, it's stamped on the front side of the engine block, just above the reducer's location.

Of course, you can misunderstand what was said, "Probably manufactured (a) part of(/for) the engine".

Anyone know what part/component/piece of/for the DB engine this company was making?
