Re: Any info on Oblt Josef Gröne of JG54
Hi
Gröne was born on 1st December 1918. In late 1942 he did a stint as a trainer with Jgr.Drontheim, later with erg./Jgr.Ost. On 13th April 1943 he was shot down and wounded, his Bf109 coming down over Derpat, Russia. In October 1943 he became Technical Officer to IV./Jg54. On 16th February 1945 he transfered to Jg5. Last rank I have for him was Oberleutnant.
He made two claims as a Leutnant with 4./Jg54:-
25th August 1942 Jak-1 0930 hrs Nr.1
16th January 1943 Pe-2 1240 hrs 2000 metres altitude Nr.2
Sorry, but I have no date of death for him.
Kind Regards
Johannes
