Meaning of false registration?

The article mentions that the plane might have had a false registration number. Why would that happen? How would one tell if it were the case?

When you look at the photo in the cited Samolot article, the umlaut, which is what (I think) makes the reg non standard) is not at all obvious. I've not yet seen a better pic and will remove the comment until proof of the accent turns up. If it turns out to be right, then Gözt might be a ref to Götz von Berlichingen and the vulgarism mentioned in that article. In the '60s, if not now , it was common to see German lorries with "GvB" at the back.TSRL (talk) 08:56, 22 May 2019 (UTC) Umlaut apart, this is the only D-G*** reg listed in "Golden Years".TSRL (talk) 10:17, 22 May 2019 (UTC) A footnote in the article in External Links states that this reg is also out of line with the normal German practice of registering light aircraft as D-E***; D-G*** was for transports, which the A-2 was not.TSRL (talk) 12:25, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
