Again, I'm not asserting the reports were accurate but KG 200 was known for trying different things.

(a) Even with such warnings, would you want to rely on them making the distinction? Friendly fire was a big enough problem, so imagine what it would be like if you were disguised as an unfriendly aircraft.

(b) Oddly we seem to be much better informed about KG 200's activities than many less secret units.
