A pair of Hs 126B-1's wait at a repair depot before being returned to the front for more action. The thin white diagonal lines seen on the fuselage sides of these and most other Hs 126s were painted there to aid the observer in lining up his camera with the subjects to be photographed.

A winter camouflaged Hs 126 heads for its home base after a mission over Soviet positions. The small device under the tail behind the tail wheel is a glider towing attachment. The Hs 126 was powerful enough to tow a fully laden DFS 230 glider or an empty Gotha Go 242 glider.
