While researching the history of the West German Army Aviation (WGAA or "Heeresflieger") in its early years, I learned that the first batch of 26 Sikorsky H-34G.I helicopters for the WGAA was delivered by USNS Corregidor (T-CVU 58) in 1956. Along with some Sikorsky H-34A for the US Army in West Germany, the vessel arrived at Bremerhaven on February 27, 1956.
