Identification of aircraft part found former Luftwaffe Air Base in Denmark

Great photo of that He 219 propeller blade base with the id numbers!
We can see that it is a 9-12 174.10 blade which is listed for the complete assembly Gerat 9-12 174 A and the 4-bladed 9-12 132 B, although it is also interchangeable on the 9-12 174 B Gerat.
The other markings on the base, mnf is the code for the manufacturer, possibly someone can decode that? 619 is possibly a QA inspectors code stamp (There would normally be a BAL QA stamp). The 2491 is likely a serial number from the manufacturer.
It would be great if you have any pics of the Hub stamps or id plates?
Thanks for posting

Hi,
I looked-up the mnf Ordnance code myself, Surprise! mnf is VDM-Luftfahrtwerke AG, which was located in the Heddernheim district of Frankfurt on the Main,

Cheers

Another day at the same spot

Hi,
Difficult to id some things, but, I think I can possibly see some remains of another spinner backplate parts that still have the small sections of the very strong prop hub blade fitting attached. The VDM Hub is hugely strong and never usually breaks. It is possible that they might be from another type as well, I can't tell with parts corroded like this.
I can only guess that if they are VDM hub parts with remains of the spinner backplate still attached, they were either in a very high speed crash, were cut up with oxy-acet cutting gear or blown up with explosive charge?
The parts that I think may be these are in your sequence, photo's, 3,4,8,10,11, and 14.

What do you think?

Photos #10 and 14 do appear to be from a hub back plate.

Thanks! We thought that too.

Unfortunately the VDM parts documents don't give the size details, that is all in the production drawings that I do not have. There are thousands of them, somewhere.
However, the closest match I can find with the slinger ring and tube feeds is part nr 9-11 177.34 which is listed for the Ju 88 with JUMO 211 engines. This is not
a positive id but, it is likely.

thanks for the detailed explanation
