From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.[1]
