if u can u toke still a white paper on the shield and gone with a pencil over maybe u ge chance to se the letters a lot better

I've just tried with paper and pencil but the shield is so encrusted it is impossible to get a rubbing. As to your assessment of what is said on the shield it is definitely:

Achtung!

??? Auseinanderbau
........ablassen

'Bei' Auseinanderbau would seem to make sense in the context of the later 'ablassen'...

'ablassen' was the KEY!! I ran to my Bf 110G-4 landing gear and found the same plate

ACHTUNG!
vor Auseinanderung
Pressluft ablassen

Von Lutz, you are truly a legend. Thank you! It makes sense as i seem to remember part of the landing gear was recovered from the dig back in 1993... Would it be possible to get a photo of the same plate and its location?
