Arado Ar 196 in Finnish Service

During the Second World War Finland loaned three Arado Ar 196 floatplanes from Germany. Although operated by Finland, they retained their German markings and codes (GA+DO an A-2, A3+AC and A3+BC both A-3s).

The three loaned Arado 196 floatplanes were returned to Germany in September 1944 after hostiles with the Soviet Union came to an end.
