Harald Quandt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Quandt Harald Quandt (1 November 1921 – 22 September 1967) was a German industrialist, the son of industrialist Günther Quandt and Magda Behrend Rietschel. His parents divorced and his mother was later married to Joseph Goebbels. After World War II, Quandt and his older half-brother Herbert Quandt ran the industrial empire that was left to them by their father and that continues today, the family owning a stake in Germany's luxury car manufacturer BMW. After his death, his kids inherited a fortune. Harald Quandt's five daughters inherited about 1.5 billion deutsche marks ($760 million, €585 million) and later increased their wealth through the Harald Quandt Holding GmbH, a German-based family investment company and trust named after their father.[3] Today, they share a fortune worth at least $6 billion. |

 We won and kicked their azz   and captured their gun  and we suffered casualties:  Black Marines bringing wounded man to aid station. I read one account where one Marine felt very good when a Black Marine carrying his stretcher assured him, "You're going to be O.K. now."

Guys what we have here is the DB 628 which only a few were made and the concept was abandoned in March of ‘44. A Google image search turns up very little and an engine which looks a bit different. That being said, I’m willing to trust the experts on a FB page I follow specifically for DB engines.There is some debate wether is was a DB 603 or 605 based engine. I’m not expert so I’ll let a better man argue those points.

The picture in question has an exhaust driven turbocharger for the first stage. All I'm finding on the 621 is that it had both a turbo and super charger. I wonder if there is some nomenclature discrepancies due to the period and that much of what is left is probably captured intel vs. company records? Very interesting none the less! |

What plane was it meant for? If it was part of a "V" series I can probably find an example. edit: The engine mounting arms, remind me of He-111 style ones. Maybe was tested in FW190H/D/Ta-15*, but the mounting connections spacing seem Me-109 type, and it would be wore likely tested/used in the 109 high altitutde development/testing program. Not the Me-109K it was tested with the DB 605 L. The mounts do not look right to me. Would make more sense for the Ta-152. |

It would make sense for it to have been a prototype for high altitude aircraft, so that very much could be one of the candidate. Seems like the Jumo was the power plant of choice at that point in the war so maybe DB was trying to compete, and or the Reich was looking for alternatives for supply continuity. |
