Thanks Peter!
Dear Peter,
Thanks for your information. The photo you write about is published in “See-Mehrzweckflugzeug Arado Ar 196” by Hans-Peter Dabrowski und Volker Koos. Back in 1996 I contacted Dr. Volker Koos in Germany and he answered me, that the original photo he received from Russia and he was pretty sure the photo is done by a soviet officer. The red army entered Bulgaria on Sept.3 1944. After that and till the end of the WWII in May 1945 Bulgaria fought against Germany. The Arados were neither captured nor used by the soviets. In the last part of the war they did not take part in any military action but were still in use till 1953. Are you sure the plane Nr. on the photo you know is 3/7096 and not 3/7069? By the way the preserved aircraft in Bulgaria today is shown as Nr 3 (in fact it was Nr.1).
