Black-painted Heinkels!

Hi guys

During 1940, Aufkl.ObdL operated at least one, if not more, black-painted He111s to convey spies into Britain by parachute. There were, it seems, possibly five such missions most, if not all, flown by Hptm Kurt Gartenfeld.

Can anyone confirm the number of such Heinkels which, I understand, had armament and bomb racks removed. It has been suggested that no national markings were carried.

Over to the experts, please!]

Cheers
Brian
