Re: Grossetto
Remi and all. I think this is it. Grossenbrode was the Torpedoschule der Luftwaffe which was moved in Oct 41 to Grosetto and renamed KSG 2. In Mar 43, renamed KG 102 and in Jun 43 moved to Riga. This explains why so many of the LT aircrew shot down over the Normandy Beaches were trained at 'Riga' as opposed to Grossetto. It also explains why Hptm Ernst Thomsen, St Kap of 2/KGr 506 became I Gr Kdr of KSG 2 before going to take command of III/KG 26 (formed from KGr 506) in May 42 (only to be injured in an accident in Jul 42)
