Interesting picture. I tend to agree with Richard; It looks very much like a ME-110, probably a nightfighter. Look at the narrow fuselage and the position of the engines relatively close to the wingroot. And I only see 2 engines. The Lanc, Halifax, Manchester and even the Ju-88 had a wider fuselage. The only British bomber it could be IMO is the Whitley, also relatively narrow fuselage, engines close to the wing root, but had deeper and bulkier wings; on top of this they would not be around over Berlin in Jan 1944, except perhaps with 100 Group Bomber Support. The rest I believe were in Coastal Command.
