Oblt Max Groth 1./JG 26
Hello, I have two questions about this pilot:
1) according to the JG 26 War Diary book by Donald Caldwell, he was a decorated bomber pilot that underwent fighter conversion training. Has anyone a trace of his service as a bomber pilot ?
2) the same source had two accidents for him on 7 April and 7 May 1944: in both cases he bailed out from his Fw 190 A-6 "white 6" due to engine fire in Soissons area. Only the WNr changed, the one on 7 April being given as 530 918 and the one on 7 May as 550 913.
Two such incidents being so close in details at exactly one month interval seem dubious to me, I suspect a typo, in which case only one date and WNr is correct.
I will be interested to see what our Luftwaffe losses experts here have for this pilot for the two above dates.
Thanks in advance
