"How?"

To my eye, the nose is not typical of most Ju88s, being longer. Perhaps an example of a G-7 carrying the FuG240 N-1 Berlin radar. Only 10 built.

in 1941 in Russia?

Aus dem Nachlass der Veteran der ^^-Polizei Fritz Hillebrecht.
Im Frühjahr 1940 war er noch bei einer TK-Einheit in Nürnberg.
Später in 1940 zur 2./ Nachrichten-Abteilung 300 der ^^-Polizei-Division.
Mit dieser Einheit als Besatzungstruppe in Frankreich bis Frühjahr 1941.
Ab Juni 1941 Einsatz am Nordabschnitt d. Ostfront: Baltikum, Leningrad, Wolchow.
Vermutlich ist er dann später am 7. August 1944 als ^^-Uscha in Polen gefallen.
Schauen Sie sich bitte die insgesamt ca. 90 Auktionen an!
 
Well, what is the explanation for that nose?

Ju-88 G-6 night fighter with British national insignia undergoing testing. At the bow you can see the plywood paneling of the new radar device FuG-240 "Berlin"
Date 4/7/1945. Junkers Ju 88G-6, (Wk. Nr. 628811 ), captured at Flensburg. Designated RAF AM48, this aircraft was scraped at Brize Norton in 1947. (Known picture.)

Photo of Berlin actual antenna array and display. Berlin FuG224. To reduce time of development and bringing cm radar into being quickly, they decided to copy
basic SHF parts of H2S. Be it, that they converted it into metric measures (slightly different size, and threads) .Simply copying everything was out of the question, as German aircraft did not provide equal space as did British aircraft. They were, for several reasons, forced to reduce the size of the system (about 30 %) as well as to employ standard German components (especially the application of standard radio valves).

Excellent information, Snautzer. That's a great photo, taken at the Enemy Aircraft Exhibition at Farnborough in September/October 1945, you can see a range of different types in the background, including the Me 262, two Mosquitoes, one what looks like an NF.XVII variant fitted with high-altitude engines and centimetric radar in a bulbous nose, there's a Harvard between the Me 262 and Mossie, the undercarriage of a Firefly can be seen under the Ju 88 and the tail of a Barracuda to the left.
