I know the Fw190 is currently flying but what about the JU-88,and TB-3, and SB-2?
Recovered or just left to rot?

The Ju 88 cannot be recovered, it is an 'in situ' war memorial. Doesn't seem to suffer much fortunately, looks the same as it did two decades ago.

Why can't it be recovered? It looks like getting a helicopter in there to lift it out wouldn't be an issue.

Already answered that question - it is a War Memorial

Yea because letting a Super rare Ju88 rot and be picked apart by scavengerts in the middle of nowhere is such a great memorial to the men who gave their lives.....I can understand not wanting to restore it but placing it in-situ diorama would prevent the wreck from crumbling away and give more honor to those who flew her... I hate when governments make decisions that have no logical explanation. To anyone out there if I ever get shot down and killed and someone wants to recover my plane's wreckage I here by give you permission as I'd rather it not rot.

I'm no expert on Ju88's, but I've done a bit of Googling and it looks as though no lives were lost in this particular aircraft. The crew force landed and set the aircraft alight after attacking a convoy, and the crew managed to walk to safety. Unfortunately the crew were all KIA later in the war. See the link:
