Re: DFS230 to Japan ?

FWIW, from a USAAF report entitled “German Technical Aid to Japan” issued on 31 August 1945:

DFS-230:
Clearance for Japanese purchase of three DFS--230 gliders was given during the latter half of 1942; two of those gliders were listed as being left behind at Bordeaux. There is no evidence of the third glider, nor of any data concerning this glider type, having been sent to the Far East. A descriptive booklet on the DFS-230 was found among papers left behind in the Japanese Embassy in Berlin.”
