DFS230 at Romanian and Italian Airforce ?

Hi all, heard something that DFS230 was used at Romanian Airforce (29 or 38 units). Does anybody have a picture of those DFS230ies with Romanian markings ? Same question regarding the use of DFS230 in Italy.
Any help is much appreciated
Sincerely Peter Ocker

Re: DFS230 at Romanian and Italian Airforce ?

According to La Luftflotte Italiana by Nino Arena (Edizione Aeronautiche Italiane S.r.l., 1978) the Italians did have receive 10 DFS 230 from Spring 1943 onward. He even tells you how what the payment terms were but my Italian isn't quite equal to that sentence (or to most sentences in fact). All the photos he has show the machines in German markings, though.
