Re: Ofw Artur Gross 2./JG 301 15 April 1945

The hard battles around Gardelegen ended in the late afternoon on 14th of April.
The very next day (15 April '45) the USAAF began to use the airfield for supplies and evacuations (airfield Nr. R-33).
No chance for Artur Gross to fly a mission from this place after the 14 April '45.
(but a combat mission to Gardelegen airfield on 15th of April to fight the american ground forces is possible)

Remark:
Gardelegen was at least the home for IV./JG 301 from 2 March to 19 March 1945
(disbanded on this date).
Home for 2./JG 301 from 19 Feb '45 to 10 April '45 was Salzwedel airfield.
