DFS 230

What was the reason why DFS 230s did not wear swastikas on their tails?
All other gliders had one.
Thanks.

Hi,

I am well aware that the DFS 230 used against the Fort Eben Emael in Belgium in May 1940 did not wear any national markings (no swastikas and no blacks crosses)...

I renew my question for new members (or "old hares" that wouldn't have seen it).
Thanks.
