[Seaplanes]

This document is a statement that Willi Gaul is the Staffelkapitän of 2.(F)/22.
His Wehrpass (personal military record book) was left behind in Germany due to a hastily transfer of this unit from Barth in Pommern to Vaerloese in Denmark.

2./S.A.Gr.126 was renumbered and renamed 2.(F)/22 on 26. March 1945 and Willi Gaul was appointed Staffelkapitän on 30. March 1945. When the German forces in Denmark capitulated on 5. May 1945, the 2.(F)/22 transferred from Vaerloese to Lister (Lista) in Norway on the same day. This is the reason why the document is dated Oslo (Capital of Norway) 28. July 1945. The following aircraft of 2.(F)/22 were transferred:
Me 410A-1 W.Nr. 410098
Me 410B-2 W.Nr. 410209, 420483
Si 204D-1 W.Nr. 251502, 252059, 252040, 321554, 321904, 321933
He 111H-6 W.Nr. 7760
Willi Gaul was on board one of these aircraft.
The three Messerschmitt's and the lone Heinkel were all destroyed by RAF on Lister airfield. Some of the Siebels were later transferred to Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel and taken over by RAF.
