this is the German Blohm & Voss P 170 bomber, which was only proposed, never actually built
still, the WW2-era German arms industry was fucking wild, guess this is what meth and extreme racism does to your brain

What the fuck is the middle canopy for. What the fuck is this plane. What the fuck kind of role does it fill. What the fuck
It was apparently supposed to be a "fast bomber", a concept of a bomber that wouldn't need any guns on it since it would just outrun the interceptors. That's why it has three engines.
I'm not sure if this would have even worked (and clearly the Germans weren't either, since they never built them, not even a prototype to test things out), since the bomber would obviously be weighed down by, you know, the bombs, and I don't know if those extra engines would have really made it fast enough to outrun a much lighter plane.
I am positively screaming at this concept still
it looks cool and that's it
