Ex-DLH Heinkels in Luftwaffe service.

I find two Heinkels in our ebay lists unusual. I will post them separately so that any discussion does not get confused between them.

The first is this one; #71 from ebay fotos 4-11

Although the engines are not clearly visible it appears to be a He 111C or He 111G. Note the absence of any defensive armament. It is in splinter camouflage so I presume it is one of the aircraft handed over from DLH to the Luftwaffe at the start of the war in late 1939, but the camouflage still includes the earlier light grey instead of the new two-tone green.

Can someone please give any information about this aircraft or a very brief account of the He 111C/G in Luftwaffe service?
