In 1969 of two pre-production helicopters from Sikorsky, production aircraft were license built by VFW-Fokker at Speyer in Germany. The first German-built helicopter flew from Speyer on 11 October 1971 and was delivered to the Erprobungsstelle der Bundeswehr flight test Centre at Manching on 1 December 1971
The first flight made by a German CH-53G was made in 1971, followed in March 1973 by the delivery of the first machines to Heeresfliegerregiment 35 in Mendig, and shortly afterwards to the newly formed Heeresfliegerregiment 15 based at Rheine, and Heeresfliegerregiment 25 based at Laupheim.
