What is this and where is this Thor???

I only know of propeller pitch and throttle... Combination of the two controls the rpm.
Or is it something like auto-propitch that the JU88-A4 had???

Honestly I have no idea. I merely translated the term.

Drehzahlwählhebel is "RPM lever" in British terminology. It's the lever that sets the RPM governed by the constant speed unit. It's not called prop pitch lever as it doesn't control the prop pitch directly.

Aircraft without constant speed unit: Propeller pitch lever
Aircraft with constant speed unit: RPM lever

Thank you Thor and Banks for the feedback!

I added your comments in the original text, I need to fly again the JU88 of CoD and check. I do not remember having constant rev but in the Bf109-E4 model

Junkers and Messerschmitt aircraft are very different, partially because of the different engines they used. I found the stuff about engine management in the Ju 87 particularly interesting (found the manual on the web). A selector for certain "states of flight" - that was a new one for me.
