Ju-88 Stab KG51

This photo appears in the book, Wir flogen mit dem Edelweiss by Friedrich Aufdemkamp without any details. Can anyone provide more information like crew, location etc.

A photo of the tail of presumably the same machine appeared on Ebay.de this month.

Re: Ju-88 Stab KG51

I blame it on the Russians (just testing if able post, edit function often fails, but I give up)

Version is Ju 88 A-4 (early) made in 1941, but no Ju 88 A-4 9K+FA appears in loss listings.
Photo may have been tampered with. Strange have "White F" and "Black A" indicating it may have incomplete code
(and the "A" be part of old Stkz., and dimensions are "peculiar")

Below is similar markings (but 1050 did not have such rudder, rather A-5 but Metal covered)
