Fw 190 Production at Mimetall

[Leo Etgen]

Hi guys

Lynn Ritger posted an interesting document at the Plane Talking forum of Hyperscale regarding the production or rather non production of Fw 190 D-9 fighters at Mimetall in 1944. Most recent sources state that the 500 series of these aircraft were produced by Mimetall but this would appear to show otherwise and that this series was actually produced by Arbeitsgemeinschaft Roland. Some sources seem to indicate that this concern was another name for Weser Flugzeug Gesellschaft which produced the 400 series of Dora-9 fighters but the document seems to indicate this was not the case and that each was a separate entity. Incidentally, my opinion is that additionally Weser was the manufacturer of the 350 series and Mimetall (now Arbeitsgemeinschaft Roland) the manufacturer of the 380 series of Fw 190 A-8 fighters. Are there any educated opinions on this possibly new information?

Horrido!
