Re: Engine identification.

Nope, illustrated is Jumo 211 F engine with VS II (Schwartz wooden blade design).
Having studied the He 111 loosely, the Jumo 211 D was much older engine (1938-39?), long out of production when the H-6 series appeared (1941). -Ed

Wikipedia: "The first prototype aircraft powered by the 211A appeared in late 1937.[citation needed]
Junkers Jumo 211B/D engine at the Luftwaffenmuseum der Bundeswehr
Development of the 211 continued with the 211B being released in 1938, with a slightly increased maximum RPM of 2,400 which boosted power to 1,200 PS (1,200 hp; 880 kW). The later 211C and 211D differed primarily in the propeller gear ratios and other features. A major upgrade was started in 1940 in order to better compete with the 601, following in its footsteps with a pressurized cooling system. The resulting 211E proved to be able to run at much higher power settings without overheating, so it was quickly followed by the 211F which included a strengthened crankshaft and a more efficient supercharger. Running at 2,600 RPM the 211F delivered 1,340 PS (1,320 hp; 990 kW) and the 211J (a 211F with intercooler) 1,420 PS (1,400 hp; 1,040 kW). Further improvements to this basic line led to the 1,450 PS (1,430 hp; 1,070 kW) 211N and 1,500 PS (1,500 hp; 1,100 kW) 211P in 1943, they were equivalent to the 211F/J but with slight boost increases and running at up to 2,700 rpm. Continued development of the 211 line evolved into the Jumo 213."


I might add, some motors in museum´s are fitted with broken wood props. Like Ju 88 A-4 / Fw 190 Mistel at Farnborough, likely only for display purposes (not original for Jumo 211 B/D engines, but fitted same crankshaft).
(But Ju 88 A-4 / Fw 190 Misteln were tested)
