A Messerschmitt Bf 109 E "White 11" of II.Gruppe / Jagdgeschwader 54 (JG 54), handed over to a training unit after the first Bf 109 F fighters had arrived in the Russian theatre. Because the ground at forward airfield was a different colour, the aircraft's earlier camouflage has been painted over with a darker mottled pattern to give it a better chance of surviving low level attacks by Red Army aircrafts.
