| its not the length of the fuselage you can tell its an IL10, but look at the length of the cockpit  
this is an IL-10 
heres the IL-2
c, the IL 10 has a shorter cockpit, the early version of the IL10 had the lack of a rear gunner, thats why the cockpit is shorter.
many of them were shot down because of this
the later version had a reinstalled rear gunner position.
the other plane isnt a stuka (look at the left wheel) but i cant tell what plane it is :/

| look at the weels, they are bolted to the side of the plane (u know like a piper club) so i dont think its a fighter, at least not a standard one .
so yes it could be a Hs-126 i completely agree with you! 
but still, i find it hard to c any wings, but the fuselage shape is exact the same.

| I cannot be a 10 because Grandfather was only in Russia 41-september 42. By 43 he was already fighting in Africa.... So it must be a different version..
