I recall reading that the Luftwaffe received one ANBO 41 from the Soviets (after the Soviets seized all the Lithuanian Air Force assets) and the German pilots appreciated it's performance.

That's possible. So that could be the moment of giving over to Germans. The plane seems to be one of these captured by Russians after "liberating" of the Lithuania.

Hard to say if the Germans were there just to inspect the type or if it's actually the ANBO given to the Germans. If it is the one given to them, then this is a rare photo as there wasn't much documentation of it's short service as a liason craft.

Interesting is that there are branches on the ground. A little bit to small for camouflage but the bigger could have been removed. So it could be an abandoned kite though.
