Re: 16 Ar196s damaged, Ratzeburgersee, 24 April 1945
When this area was occupied by british forces in May 1945, they
found the following Ar 196's:
Schleswig-See 3 aircraft, Kiel-Holtenau 4 aircraft, List on Sylt 5 aircraft,
Tarnewitz-See 27 aircraft (most in good condition when inspected there on 21.05.1945).
In addition 4 aircraft were found in Denmark and 12 in Norway. 2 Ar 196 were on board the cruiser "Prinz Eugen".
No mention was made about aircraft at Ratzeburger See. Would this lake first be occupied by Soviet forces ?
