I think it says something like "Our aircraft at an filed airport. In the foreground is a captured fighter aircraft". There are words there I can't make out but I think that's the gist.

This is what the Americans found in a Japanese hangar at the end of WW2. This still very complete He 112B seems to have been part of a mechanic training school. Maybe the one at the Tsuchiura Naval Air Station, where the surviving He 112Bs were relegated after their flight evaluation.
