Hi Schnautzer,
I think this is incorrect, from my experience with German texts a groundloop is a sudden and violent swing in the horizontal plane (around the top or yaw axis), whereas an "Überschlag" is a turnover in the vertical plane (around the lateral axis). A sort of negative looping on the ground, so to speak...
Regards,
Marcel

so Überschlag bei Landung would make it a ground loop (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_%28aviation%29
