Enzo Grossi

Enzo Grossi (20 April 1908 in San Epigma, Brazil died 11 August 1960 in Argentina) was an officer in the Regia Marina (Italian Navy) during World War II.

During World War II he commanded the U-Boote "Medusa" and "Barbarigo". He claimed to have destroyed a battleship, which resulted in the awarding of the "Medaglia d'oro al valor militare". After the war it was declared that he was not entitled to the decoration. The ship at which he had fired in vain was the corvette "Petunia". [Kurowski 1995, p. 307.]
