Re: KG53 markings

Markings: AL+LN (outlined in white). This marking together with Swastika on rudder had been blacked out. Spinners, red.
There are many cases (and photographs) of Luftwaffe night bombers with their light-coloured markings overpainted with black, to make the aircraft less conspicuous. It is quite likely that the red was still there, beneath a layer of black.
