Re: 16 Ar196s damaged, Ratzeburgersee, 24 April 1945
Most likely they belonged to either Bordfliegergruppe 196 or Seeaufklärungsgruppe 126: the only two substantial Ar196 units left by April 1945. Of the other units you mention, Küstenfliegergruppe 706, Seeaufklärungsgruppe 125, 131 and III/KG 100, were no longer in existence, and the rest never had more than a handful Ar196 aircraft in their inventory. I am not aware of any formal seaplane base on Lake Ratzeburg.
