Fokker D.XXI Captured by Germany
Following the German invasions of Denmark on 9 April 1940 and the Netherlands on 10 May 1940, several Fokker D.XXI fighters were captured by German forces.
The captured fighters were inspected and evaluated by the Germans, with aircraft receiving Luftwaffe markings. Photographs show that several retained their original Dutch camouflage patterns, although national insignia were replaced.
Captured Danish D.XXIs were for training and familiarisation purposes.
