Great pic . Judging by the wing cannon and canopy this is possibly an E-3 , but what's interesting is the swastika is on the split of the rudder , that went out very early in the war so this might be a very early E-3 on the Polish front . I think the rings on the grass are for tying the plane down in a wind storm . These Blackmen have a long struggle ahead .

Looks like preventive maintenance to me, or waiting for that replacement part. The rest of the ground crew are taking a brake. Aircraft is a Gruppen Adjudants plane II.Gurppe
