DB605AS info - need to determine WHERE and WHEN?

[S Sheflin]

Tomislav,

Regarding your list of DB 605 producers, I show the following Hersteller codes and manufacturers for two of them:

002 (A-1) = Pommersche MB (hss)*
004 (A-1) = Fiat, S.A., Turin (kwm)**

*I cannot recall why now, but I have always listed the “002” series as being produced by Pommersche MB. However, several of my sources list the maker codes as “hss,” Niedersächsische Motorenwerke G.m.b.H., Braunschweig-Querum, Steinriedendamm 15, and not Pommersche MB. Any suggestions.

**I only have four 004 listings. Two of the four listings show “kwn” (Donau-Flugzeugbau, Csepel-Budapest) as the maker, but I think it may have been Fiat (kwm).
