Hallo!
The T 6 was actually an AT 6 (AT- Advanced Trainer) Were they training the new Luftwaffe pilots with them? Whenever at plane, car, boat, gun, etc is "Out of place" one wonders how they got there. Who knows! I wouldn't look for them in Germany. I have heard that the AT 6 was fitted out with guns and used in combat in Korea. Also, I have heard that the Japanese designed their "Zero" using the AT 6 as a model. Whether or not either one is true, I can't say. It's quite an airplane either way.
