If there are any they would be in my book on the Condor. As to numbers I am not certain as they were already operating in that region

Carsten Petersen, Operation Anton was the invasion of Free Zone or Vichy France. For this operation German planes used a white band in upper and down sufaces of wing.Attachment 19376

Very interesting ... was painting white stripes on wings a requirement for those invading France?

Re: Fw200 in Operation Anton

I cannot find any photos with wing stripes although photos I have from KG 2 show stripes on the upper and lower wing outside the engines, lower cowling and tail of Do 217s
