"Oblt. Helmut Radtke of 5./JG 54, Assisted by his mechanic, clambers into the cockpit of hes Fw 190 A-6 at Immola in Finland during the summer of 1944. Radtke was killed on 14 January, 1945 by Allied fighters over Munsterland near the Mittelland Canal. For some reason, an attempt has been made to obscure the number with a patch of dark green paint. Below the cockpit is painted 'Schlango', meaning snake or serpant. In common with most Luftwaffe fighters on the Eastern Front, the aircraft carries a yellow rear fuselage band. This photograph also shows to advantage the split flaps at the wing trailing edge." book- Folke-Wulf Fw 190 Volume Three 1944-1945, Page 750

Now that's a pic that tugs at the heartstrings given what we know happened in Warsaw, and to those who "survived" the Uprising.

It looks to me as if the chap may have lost his left hand. Sad to think that most people in that photograph probably weren't alive just 2 months after this pic was taken. A sombre thought.
