Partially cannibalized II. Gruppe Messerschmitt Me 323 D Gigant transport aircraft. The only recognizable part of the aircraft's code is the red letter C (or a partially obscured G or O).
Note heavy exhaust staining on wing. Engines, outer wing sections, and tail section have been removed. Parts of the aircraft's tail section (revealing the tactical marking "X") can be seen on the ground between aircraft and camera. The detached starboard outer wing section is visible on the right side of the photo. Note heavy exhaust staining on top of the wing.
Location is likely the Demyansk pocket, 1942. (German Aviation 1919-1945 collection)
