Help needed to identify a German aircraft

[Spyros]

Hello,
Recently I obtained for my collection an interesting photo of a WW2 Luftwaffe aircraft, which seems like a Henschel Hs121 but definitely it's not. Can anyone identify which type/aircraft is it?

 

[Sabrejet]

Focke-Wulf Fw 56 Stösser I think.

 

[Wurger]

Yep ... with no doubt.

What is the aircraft in the background?

IMHO that's the Henschel Hs 123A-0 or just Hs 123A.

Thanks a lot! Yeap, definitely it's a Fw56.

IMHO that's the Henschel Hs 123A-0 or just Hs 123A.

Is it sure a Hs123? It seems like a Hs 125

I'm sure that's not the Hs-125. Please notice that the kite seen at the backgrund has ...

A and B ... openings/steps for accessing the cockpit and front of the fuselage, no such ones for the Hs-125,
C ... the large protruding step for getting in at the fairing of the wing/fuselage transition, no a such one for the Hs-125,
D ... fairing of the tail wheel mount, no a such one for the Hs-125,
E ... a wing of a small wingspan/chord and the different shape of the trailing edge than the Hs-125 had,
F ... a high demarcation line between the three-tone top camouflage colours and the underside one. The civilian registration for the B1 class of military aircraft ( weight 1000kg-2500kg, crew 1-4 people ) started with the D-I letters can be noticed as well. The Hs 125 didn't wear the camo uniform rather and being of the smaller weight the registration would be different although started with the D sign.
G ... not clearly presented but there is a piece of the horizontal stabilizer strut seen. The Hs-125 didn't have a such one.

to sum up ... as you may find all the details indicate the Hs-123 but not the Hs-125.

Hs-123

Hs-125

OK - convinced me.

Have you read the thread carefully? This is the reply to the special ed's question in the post #4 .... and also to the Spyros' one in the post #5 and referes to the aircraft seen in the background behind the Fw 56 Stösser.

What is the aircraft in the background?
