Bf 109E at Stalingrad?

This photo has been captioned on another forum as being taken at Stalingrad.

A mix of E features (shown by the cowl and horizontal stab struts,) but has rounded wingtips like an F.

Is that possible?

Even by early Stalingrad, had not the E variants been out of front line service by a year?

(Actually, this almost has to be a staged photo. Notice how that mystery beam is supporting the fuselage.)

A well-known posed photo. Fuselage of E with wings of F. Brought to make a stage of shot down German fighter amongst the ruins. I/Sch.G.1 and III/Sch.G.1. were equipped with E types throughout the whole battle of Stalingrad.

Awesome! Thanks!

Anyone know the story behind the E part of the wreckage, the unit?
