Question about Rudolf Grobe
Hi
In Luftwaffe Officer Career Summaries,he is credited with 6 "abschuss" and KIA with III/JG52 on 22/3/42. According to one of my sources it was with 5/JG5,KIA on 22/3/42. All this is not clear. 1)KIA with III/JG52 or 5/JG5 ? 2) I found no victories whatsoever with III/JG52 or 5/JG5 Do any of you know more about? Thank's in advance Michel |

Re: Question about Rudolf Grobe
De Zeng and Stankey are not sure themselves whether there was one Rudolf Grobe or two:
GROBE, Rudolf. 22.05.41 Oblt., 5./JG 77 POW - Bf 109 E-7 (Black 5 + -) shot down by AA vic Kythera briefly captured. 22.03.42 Oblt., III./JG 52 KIA - Bf 109 E-7 (Black 5) hit by AA vic Titowka. Credited with 6 victories. GROBE, Rudolf. 22.03.42 Oblt., 5./JG 5 KIA - Bf 109 E-7 (Red 6) crashed on landing after taking AA hits vic Titowka Bay.- mixed up with other Rudolf Grobe? |

Re: Question about Rudolf Grobe
The correct identification of the two pilots is this:
GROBE, Otto. 22.05.41 Oblt., 5./JG 77 POW - Bf 109 E-7 (Black 5 + -) shot down by AA vic Kythera briefly captured. GROBE, Rudolf. June 1941 with III./JG 52 and 22.03.42 Oblt., 5./JG 5 KIA - Bf 109 E-7 (Red 6) crashed on landing after taking AA hits vic Titowka Bay.
