So, a little puzzle with a wing...
It's a flying wing or a tailless aircraft made before 1945, probably German.
It was apparently held by the Deutsche Luftfahrt Sammlung.
It is oficially identified as the Horten Ho II, but there are too many differences. Second possibility is the Go 147, but it doesn't fit this aircraft even more.
This is probable shape:
Dark areas have hard skin (plywood or metal?), lighter were apparently covered with linen. No flaps or elevons are preserved, and only a bare spar remains of the outer part. The original wingspan could have been greater.
An actual photo can be seen here:

Any ideas?
