It could be a Yakovlev-UT2?

I heard it was a training Aircraft, but maybe some of them saw action.

 That splotch is some asshole defacing a picture for their own copyright.

 Those images and others from Forte Capuzzo are open source and available in an untampered format through the Australian War Museum and some other locations (like diggerhistory).

It looks like the two germans standing next to the Pz3 are wondering why there's a giant red splotch up there.

I think the guy is covering a Swastika, it does loooks like a Swastika behind the Red dot of death.




German soldier falls to his death after being shot by a Russian sniper seconds before.

Its actually a video it seems.
"In the video,the cameraman is right next to the sniper when he shoots,then it goes to the scope view as shown here. Im guessing he either moved to the shooters scope quite fast,or had another sniper rifle present that he was using to get the scope footage. Which does not suprise me giving how much the Red Army used their snipers for propaganda "

If it shows the scope and the firing at the same time, from that scope, it would have to have been staged.  If the cameraman was staring down a different scope at the time though, it could be real.
