Re: German tri-engine long-range recce shot up on June 29, 1941

Denes,
I found this:
Quote:
...The 2.(F)/Staffel was transferred to Orly near Paris and the 3. / to Bucharest-Baneasa?. The 1.(F)/Staffel operated from Seerappen with the He 111 and covered the area of White Russia. The 2.(F)/Staffel later followed from Insterburg and covered the Baltic States and the direction of Lake Ilmen. Operating from Bucharest, the 3.(F)/Staffel covered the Black Sea and coast and as farther north as possible.
The V.f.H. flew from Cracow and Budapest towards the region of Kiev and Minsk. These missions were carried out using He 111s with special high-altitude engines, as well as Do 215s, Ju 88Bs and the Ju 86P, using pressure cabins and specially adapted engines. ...

Maybe one of the He 111? I remember seeing photos of He 111 for high atitude use, but where and what type?
