Extract from 1 Air Division HQ Historical Report
Assistance to the West German Air Force
The initial planning for RCAF assistance to the West German Air Force recommended a Group Headquarters located at Bonn with 3 detachments at West German Bases. However, several changes in the West German Air Force program took place between the initial planning and the signing of the Canada-West German Agreement in March 1958 which made it advisable to review the original plan. As a result of the review, it was agreed that the required Assistance could be provided by pooling the personnel and locating them at Oldenburg. Accordingly, the RCAF Advisory Group, Oldenburg came into being 1 June 1958.
