Airborne V-1 operations from Flg.Hrst. Grove?

[SES]

Hi,
I have circumstantial evidence indicating that Fliegerhorst Grove ( http://www.gyges.dk/fliegerhorst_grove.htm ) was being prepared to support airborne V-1 launches in late 1944.
1. Resistance reports indicating infrastructure and security measures related to V-1.
2. Post war reports of three buildings, which have some resemblance with the V-1 Richthaus. As opposed to most other buildings at Grove, which remain even to-day, these three buildings were demolished in the 1945 - 1949 time frame.
On the Dutch airfields supporting KG 53/V-1 operations, it was standard to build three V-1 Richthaus.
3. Seven crashes of V-1 on Danish territory in March and April 1945.

Is there any indication in ULTRA traffic or other evidence, which indicate the possible utilization of Grove as a "V-1 base"?

Hello Mikaël,

I have studied War Diary of III./KG 53 and there is no information about Denmark at all. Only A/Fs in Schleswig-Holstein and A/F Woisselsdorf by Grottkau, Silesia. But I am able to say that all informations about V-1s were as secret and V-1 figured in this papers as FZG 76. Security measures were so high that basically any other information as PQs of launches there are not about V-1. Any description of storage, any description of security, only at the beginning there is an information that each Staffel will have one man from Gestapo and one man from Sicherheitsdienst to protect this secret.

Hi Michal,
Thank you very much for your response. There need not be any mention in the KTB of a flying unit of Grove. An airfield would service any unit stationed there - if it was able to. If we were to find any mention of these installations in a KTB it could be that of Luftgau XI or the subordinate Flugplatzbereich.

Hi again,
Does the KTB of III/KG 53 mention the last date of an airborne launch?

KTB III./KG 53 has last V-1 mission during Night 5/6th January 1945. What about other units, I don´t know.

Hi Michal,
Thanks a lot. Can you see the enigma. By all accounts airborne launches stopped in JAN 1945, a primary source insist that no V-1s were fired from Altenwalde and still we have 7 V-1, that crashed in Denmark in MAR and APR 1945. So where TH did they come from? I know this is far fetched, but one suggestion could be that a unit in fact was training from Grove for a short period.
If that is not the case, and if these missiles were ground launched, I know that there are a lot of people out there, who would like to know the launch location.
