It is not an A-1.
Either A-5 (most likly) or A-4

The aileron on A-1 goes to tip, but in this video the aileron ends before the tip.

.....
I need to back up a bit. The video does not focus enough on the key parts, such as wing tips, to be conclusive, however there is one item that is certain:

The liferaft bay shown at 2:40 is without a doubt the larger one incorporated in later 88's. This very strongly indicated it is a not an A-1.
In the A-1 image below the square between wing and tail is square. Those build later are clearly rectangular.

Ju 88A-1



Ju 88A-4 and later
