Re: "Stalk" plane over Yugoslavia, summer 1944
If it was using a machine gun and small bombs, it was very unlikely to the the Fi156 Storch. The British officer's identification as the Henschel would seem to be a better bet, although it is possible that he may not have known about the He46 and thus identified the type from those he did know.
However, it doesn't take a very long look to distinguish between the two from photos: the design origins are very different. As with the other types mentioned, a quick comparison of sizes and appearance is enough to distinguish them.
