I got caught out on an exercise once, fortunately, only by a farmer.
It was around March, and I was 'dug in' in a perfectly camouflaged hide, where even the wildlife didn't notice me. However, as the early morning temperature increased, condensation, rising from the 'trapped' heat in the hide, gave away my position to the farmer who, of course, knew every inch of his land !!
No sounds, no shine, no shadows, no silhouettes, no odd shapes or movement - just nature telling the truth !!
 
A good view of the He 119's glazed cockpit is provided in this image. Most sources state this aircraft is V4, but it possesses the exhaust ports of V1. Note the extended radiator.



Interestingly enough a float plane version was designed and showed much interest by the Japanese airforce. Here's a pic of Japanese officials looking over the aircraft.
