64. Jan Horn, on page 290 of
Die Augen des OKW ... Teil 1, (2021), identifies this two-seater Arado W.Nr. 140355 (captured by the Soviets at the Bachmann repair facility at Fl.Pl. Putnitz near Rostok on 2 May 1945), not as a night fighter but as a
horchflugzeug, probably an early form of sigint aircraft. He ascribes it on page 332 as an Ar 234 B-2/H. Like the two-seat Arado night fighter conversions of 3./NJG 10 (also on p. 332), the space for the second crewman was made possible by the removal of the cameras. In this photo, the
werknummer can be seen as well as the very small circular window marring the
balkenkreuz.

65. Like the Me 262 B-1a/U1s, to increase range and time aloft, the two-seater Arado night fighters and "listeners" had fairings and racks under the engine nacelles for auxiliary fuel tanks. This is another view of W.Nr. 140355.
