Aufklärungsgruppe 1. (F)33 Grove
Hello, I'm looking for information regarding the Arado Ar 234's found at Grove.
I haven’t been able to determine, if Arado 234’s from 1.(F)33 were actually flying operations out of Grove in 1945, or if the Arado’s just ended up in Denmark because they were retreating from other ‘Fliegerhorst's to avoid the advance of the Allied troops? Regards: Kent |

Thank's I have read your 'Ar 234 in Norway & Denmark´article, several times.
Maybe it's me, but it only seems to mention sorties out of Wittmundhafen, Stavanger and Schleswig? Regards: Kent PS: I assume the 'Luftwaffe General Denmark' is referring to the operations being led from Grove, Denmark? Regards: Kent |

There is also this: The General der Aufklärungsflieger announced on 21 April that 1./FAG 5 was being disbanded and that 1.(F)/33 was taking over the “entire task” of reconnaissance for U-boat operations. As a result, Einsatzkommando 1./FAG 5 would be renamed Einsatzkommando 1.(F)/33 and subsumed into 1./FAG 33.This is very close to the end of the war but since 1.(F)/33 and 1./FAG 5 were at Grove at the time of the surrender, it seems quite possible that Ar 234s did operate from there. |

Re: Aufklärungsgruppe 1. (F)33 Grove
Thanks for the reply Nick, that's exactly the point of my question.
For example, I know that Oblt. Planck flew in from Wittmundhafen and landed on the 4th of may in Grove. On the next day (5th may) he departed from Grove and arrived in Stavanger Norway. Maybe all of the Arado's, found in Grove by the British, had arrived in a similar way, just before the Germans capitulated? Regards: Kent |
