When people have something that is already interesting, I don't understand why they have to embellish the story to try and make it more interesting. It's a wartime industrial engine. If nothing else is known, that's good enough!

I guess my "conjectural information" was spot on...

It may be due to some sort of linguistic barrier, but I can't see where this topic is going. between random wrecked kdf pics and his criptic and telegraphic messages, the OP gives at times the impression of already having (or believing to have) most of the information he asks for.

edit: it's just the impression I get as a non-native english speaker (it seems however that native speakers get the same idea), no offence intended if this isn't the case.

A german needs to get explained the word Reichsluftfahrtministerium by an Italian?
Smart dude.

Interesting threat.

As a matter of fact, early after the ended in May 1945 until August 1945 they used 6-... engines in postwar Kübelwagens. I have a copy of an handwritten document stating the VIN and the corresponding engine number and more. Basically the list of the Kübelwagens produced after the war. I had such a 6-... engine number from a 1946 beetle I bought once and sold on. That exact number I found as being used in a Küber in 1945. I need to find the exact number and the document copy.

Here we go. Exact number of my engine was: 6 - 073 356 (from 1944)

Best regards Richard

Moderator note:
Let's not start up with insulting the guy again please, I don't want to keep having to clean things up (again)

I removed the other engine thread in the past because he edited out all of his posts and deleted the photos so it was basically useless at that point.

Just so we are all aware, he is not in Germany so yes, there could be a language barrier with English and German.
He talks a lot of about Russian tanks and captures so... figure it out.

))) You make me fun here!
I created this topic for the clever person who has the information and shared it with me.

But instead, I observe, useless messages from people who do not have accurate information, and spreading rumors.
I repeat again! I have the facts! You have never seen these facts so your statement - not true.

This engine was removed from the Commandeurwagen 1943. Probably the original engine during the WWII ( In Ukraine) was flawed.

This is quite obvious. The speed of Wehrmacht retreat in 1943-1944 (in Ukraine), was in 2 times higher speed of their offensive in 1941.

Along the way they lost a different technique. Until now we find unique things that are not in the catalogs.

Today unique thing the internet. Now the old people (80-90years old) get a chance to see the images Discflying aircrafts. And it's terrible - they argue that in 1942-43, in Ukraine they saw it when they were small childrens.

I am sure that in the next 5 years we are waiting for the mass of unique discoveries.

During the entire existence of this topic. Only two people (iwlego & mr. lang ) have written on the merits.

I'll try to ascribe the apparent lack of politeness of this post to the aforementioned linguistic barrier.

however, I don't think your comments are fair at all.

Most of the posters here tried to provide you with suggestions on how to get the factual information you asked for. Usually a person finds this kind of suggestions useful, or at least appreciate the others' effort.

until I see the statement that it is an industrial engine that could not be installed on the VW vehicles.
no one takes appreciated that the in 1943, there was destruction Most of factories BMW, ZUNDAPP, and other producing motors.
In 1943, this VW KDF engines were installed on motorcycles BMW R75 and Zundap KS 750

I would not be surprised if it turns out the truth of the fact that these VW engines (6-xxxxxx) were originally installed on Commandeurwagen, in Due to the fact that in 1943-1944 Wehrmacht began to suffer a catastrophic defeat, and such a trifle as the engine classification was not taken into account.

Has been used everything that was available

[sgmalt46]

i don't get this guy. show us the facts .we can't wait to see. where are we going with this ? if you have the answers tell us please. all this over a industrial motor ? we are just trying to help or give our opinions then you hurl insults.i don't think it's a linguistic barrier. just a rude russian.
