Notice there is no tail rotor on those helos?
There usually aren't on intermeshing rotors turning in opposite directions. This model of that Flettner shows a better view.

Thanks for that, hard to see on a phone.
While the war was raging in Sept. 1940, here's the tale of a Canadian pilot flying for the RAF. during that time in The Battle Of Britain, and his involvement in The Great Escape.

Unbelievable flying and skill by the pilot.
Martin-Baker MB5
The MB5 was present at RAE Farnborough in October 1945. The display featured the latest British aircraft and several captured German aircraft. In the foreground is a Supermarine Spiteful and the MB5, with its 20 mm cannons installed. Other visible British aircraft include a Blackburn Firebrand, Bristol Brigand, Fairey Firefly, and Fairey Spearfish. Visible German aircraft include a Dornier Do 335, Fieseler Fi 103, Junker Ju 188, a pair of Focke-Wulf Fw 190s, and a Messerschmitt Bf 109
