EnglishRussia (WW2 Aerial Shots - English Russia) had photos of Russia made by German Recon planes during WWII.
There are some on-the-ground plane and pilot shots that show a twin engined plane with an extended glassed-in front that looks like a bombardeers’ station. Could someone look at the pics and help me out with the aircraft ID?
Thanks.

The recon versions had all sorts of nose modifications, depending on tasking.
At least a couple of the pics there appear to be a Focke-Wulf 189.
The single engined puddle-jumper deep in the gallery is a Fieseler Storch Fi 156.
Also looks like there’s a Junkers Ju 88 after the pictures of the HE 111.
It was the FW 189 that I was interested in.
Thanks for the help.
There were a lot of pictures of POWs.
Related question: Third picture from the top, what looks like a coffin burning: What the heck is that? Can anyone read the writing on the thing? And if it’s a coffin, why do the people around look so happy?
I don’t know what it is but the picture after it (fourth from the top) you can see it unburnt with flowers on top and a Chaplain? leading a service or something, he is alos in the third pic on the left.
It’s not a coffin, it’s a cargo container. I can’t read what’s on the side, but the end says “- me too!!”
So on the Eastern Front, the German army would have these rituals where a padre would preside over the burning of a cargo container sporting the label “me, too.” I guess I’ll never really understand Nazism.
Maybe they were burning Lend Lease containers full of SPAM. (Or insert any other unappettising food.)
me, neither.
Now thats a plane that can go into the coolest plane , other , thread.
