Photo Comment

Built in 1942 at the AGO factory in Ochersleben. During a mission from Petsamo (Finland), the aircraft encountered a thick snowstorm and fuel starvation. The pilot bailed out and the aircraft crashed West of Kongsfjord. In 1986, the remnants of the wreck were taken down from the mountain for restoration.
