Very beautifully done! The small details capture well the atmosphere in my opinion.
Now that you mentioned Oberpfaffenhofen, it reminded me of a specific thing when I worked there in the previous Dornier design offices. In some offices there still were some original photographs of the Do-335 framed and displayed on the walls (no swastika visible for obvious reasons). I remember a photograph taken in June 1945 (therefore shortly after the war ended) where at least 5 of these machines were just sitting outside on the grass just at the end of our landing strip. They were in different stages of completion, some of them partially painted but with plenty of parts/components thrown around in some sort of mess. Overall, that photograph said a lot about defeat, the hastiness with which these machines were manufactured up to the last day and how pointless and what a waste this huge effort had become. Your diorama gives me a similar feeling! Well done!
