Discovered by Polish army in 1945, it was subsequently moved to Krakow, where an aviation museum was being established. The Taube is displayed in its wrecked but purely authentic form, just as it has survived to this day. The engine is shown separately next to the plane.

Thanks for the photos, Jacek.  I'm so thankful the Army thought
enough of history to save it.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
