the overpainting of the Swastika was only common in the III./JG53 (7.,8.,9.Squadron) for a short time during 1940. ITs CO protested with that against the bad words Göring put against the fighterpilots.
in September the III./JG53 was already based in Le Touqet , Luftflotte 2.

Lol "vertical stabilizer" I have those too, they are my friends

You can always spot fighter pilots, they're forever doing that with their hands.

S!

At 6:05 they seem to strafe a downed B17G so it would not fall into German hands.

Oi in the name of god and all that is holy I need to get my Bf 109 and start doing my best in shooting scum down. I will be the biggest sucker and loser ever if I don't do it in the end of this week in Eastern Front.


Edit: Sorry about selected words everyone. No offence meant for real Russian pilots.

No, the tailsection is too thin, also the shape of the empennage doesn't fit.

Looks like a FW200 to me, but - they were rare... that makes it unlikely.

Maybe a Ju88-G?

I say Ju-88 Nightfighter
