George: Third paragraf of my second post explains the difference of the D-1 vs D-5 to Paul (re what can be seen in this photo anyway). You should have mentioned the A-4 variant too, as that alone dismisses this as dating from 1940. On 27.05.40 no long-wing Ju 88´s had reached the Luftwaffe - the first were delivered in July 1940 - and no production A-4 / D-1, D-5´s existed before 1941 (as explained).

Paul: You are quite right in all espects in your post. I am quite happy if proven wrong - and say now that this aircraft ´fits the descripion for D-5´ - and whould very much like to see the un-altered image in question. Yes, there were many hi-birds but many are also mis-indentified regarding time period or variant.
