The Ar 196 was a shipboard reconnaissance aircraft built by the German firm Arado starting in 1936. The next year it was selected as the winner of a design contest, and became the standard aircraft of the Kriegsmarine throughout World War II.
This was shot at the Luftwaffe Testing Center (Erprobungsstelle) Travemünde. This film shows both the center float and twin float models.
The Ar 196 V4 (D-OVMB) shown in the first part of the video was at Travemünde for seaworthyness trials. This video was shot on December 8, 1938 with Helmut Schuster at the controls. This test sealed the fate of the center float Ar 196.
