Hi Junker,
I am sure you are right because you always are. Nevertheless, I thought I would give you the source for the alleged surrender of 1.(F)/123 at Grove:

3 May 1945: moved to Schleswig-Land and may have flown the last long-range reconnaissance mission of the war for the Luftwaffe. Two Ar 234s were sent up in the early evening, one to determine the location of British armored spearheads north of Hamburg and the other to check enemy progress in the Lübeck area. Both aircraft returned safely and the next day, 4 May, the Staffel transferred to Grove/Denmark where it surrendered on 8 May.

Do you think Oblt. Planck was mistaken or perhaps not telling the truth?
