Nice shots. Winter thangs, eh? Romanian P.24 at the end of what was probably a good day...

It is indeed an He112.

This particular He112B belonged to Grupal 5 Vânãtoare (5th Fighter Group), flown by Adj. av. Aldea Cerchez - downed on 2 July 1941 near Bulgarica airfield (Bessarabia) by Soviet AA, during the opening of Operation Barbarossa.

They don't want to attract attention. The ammo belts look empty to me

Maxim machine guns load from the right ejecting empties forward and the empty fabric belt goes out of the left. Its possible they have fired all the ammo or the loaded belts are in a belt box out of sight.
