Re: Ar 96 in Romania
Hallo Graham
It looks like even 50 Ar 196 were ordered by Romania. They were supposed to have been delivered during the autumn 1944. Some 24 WERE indeed sent but remained unpacked when Romania switched side and joined Soviet Union on August 23rd. Soviet Union is reported to have confiscated 22 of these. Most probably those seen in Soviet markings postwar were from this batch plus of course others captured from Germany. There is NO evidence that any were actually put in service by the Romanians. Cheers Stig
