The question arises: what were the Croats doing in Rumania? Waiting for their fighter planes? And why in Rumania?
How long did they stay over there and when did they leave (with or withour airplanes)?

In short, new group of Croatian pilots waited for the pilots that retrited from Crimea and planes that never arrived. They left for Koenigsberg. It will be described in my book on 15.(kroat.)/JG 52.
