Narrative:Feindflug (operational sortie). On this night, RAF Bomber Command raided Köln with Mosquitoes and carried out several raids on targets in France.
The II./NJG 1 based at Fliegerhorst Deelen was scrambled but when the Germans noticed the force flying in over the Scheldt estuary were Mosquitoes, the Bf 110 G-4 aircraft were ordered to land again.
The aircraft crashed after an attempted landing, presumably due to a technical defect.
The Bordfunker managed to bail out and survived:
