According to my research, the Geschwaderkommandore (SP?) married a Jewish woman. As punishment for that, the entire Geschwader was required to paint that red stripe over their nose, RIGHT over their insignia, as a badge of shame. To strike back, JG53 then painted over all their swastika's too, so the aircraft lacked the swastika in real life too.
