I don't know what it is, but it looks like Hamilton Standard stickers on the prop blades. wtf? Plane sorta looks like a Vultee BT-13, but they do not have stabilizer struts like airplane pictured. I never saw a BT-13 with Strut & wheel fairings & the canopy is wrong, & didn't have strakes in fuselage.

The swastika that is flat, not angled, tells me it is from the Finnish Air Force, not German. This looks like a Fokker DXXI ordered by Finland with the Twin Wasp engine.

Thanks, not an airplane I knew of.
Twin Wasp as in Pratt & Whitney
R- 2800? So it is a Hamilton Standard propeller? And that's how Fokker delivered them?

Yes, they were P&W installed by Fokker, but only for the Finnish order. Fokker used a Bristol Mercury VIII 9 cylinder engine for their own countries' (Holland) planes, as well as for Denmark. This was the last fighter plane designed and build by Fokker. I have no idea about the propeller...sorry.
