  2. Wrong! The photos of Hitler's He 111 (F. d. F) were taken on Dec 03, 1941, not in spring 1942. Where I come from this is called winter, and if you take a close look at the soldiers: they're all dressed as if they are freezing their butts off.

    It was taken at the airfield of the 7.(F)/LG 2 in Mariupol. The boots in the foreground of the third picture had been prepared there for Hitler, because he's freezing on his flight to the airfield. That's why he ordered a new pair of flight fur boots (B13-S-Fliegerstiefel) for his flight back home. When he received the boots he even had to sign a receipt with, guess what, the exact date on it, when this photo was taken. Yes, German bureaucracy didn't even stop at Hitler.

    The receipt:
