Italian defense of Corfu island

[Jäger73]

Hello,

This is my first post on this forum.
I recenty bought a soldbuch of Walther Grünert who was a FF in II/St.G.3. He was highly awarded.

- 1. Oktober 1939: Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938 mit "Prager Burg" Spange
- 1. September 1941: Kriegsverdienstkreuz II Klasse mit Schwertern
- 4. Oktober 1943: Eisernes Kreuz II Klasse
- 26. November 1943: Frontflugspange für Kampfflieger in Bronze
- 25. Februar 1944: Frontflugspange für Kampfflieger in Silber
- 27. März 1944: Frontflugspange für Kampfflieger in Gold
- 27. März 1944: Eisernes Kreuz I Klasse
- 26. Juni 1944: Ehrenpokal für Besondere Leistungen im Luftkrieg

I saw his name in this thread and I was wondering if anyone has some more information on this man or his unit II/St.G.3

Thanks

Henry
