Cause of loss and crash-site not established.Combat with 10./11.NJG Fw. Karl-Heinz Becker /Me 262.
"On 21 March I was ordered to scramble against an incoming Mosquito in the Berlin area. Takeoff was at 21:03hrs. Over the target (I was) greatly impeded by engine trouble. At 21:32hrs I achieved a good firing position below and to the right at a range of 250 - 150m. I witnessed bits of the fuselage and wing (of the enemy aircraft) which immeidately resulted in flames. Becker's claim was at 21:34hrs German time.
Thereupon I pulled up and away, over the target. My port engine was damaged by debris from the e/a, thus I could no longer observe it. I landed safely back at home base at 21:54hrs.
According to the Egon system my attack took place in grid reference GG 5/6."
