I'm guessing I'm not the only German on the site. A lot of interesting pictures of German aircraft. Some I haven't seen before.

I was on the highway yesterday morning, a flat deck semi-trailer passed by. Loaded on the deck was a ruined helicopter, mostly intact but dented and scarred and strapped down on its side. The rotor blades were just ragged stumps that looked like they had been chopping earth. The tail was cut off and was separate, perhaps to shorten the load.
I looked up the tail number, this was the machine in better days:
Here is the NTSB incident report.

Look up production records. You'll find about 250 were built with JU-88s. None are documented with an ME-262. I don't believe that photo is real, but I'd be happy to see evidence otherwise.
you could be right , I simply typed in mistel's and they came up . now I can't find where it was

Here's a list of the many types of aircraft (including prototypes, helicopters and transports) used by the Luftwaffe from 1939-1945. There are some strange looking birds in there.

This was actually a French aircraft design, it's a Payen PA-22. You see German markings on it as it was captured after the invasion of France and sent for evaluation.
This was a wind tunnel tested design, only one was built for the purpose of air racing. It was designed to be powered by a ram-jet, but with only a 180 hp. six cylinder engine installed it still reached 224 mph.
