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:
Flugzeugführer Lt. H. Flegel 60932/29 Luftwaffe - buried Ysselsteyn BN-4-99
Bordfunker Oblt. Freymann Luftwaffe
Bordschütze Gfr. E. Assenmacher 208297/35 Luftwaffe - buried Ysselsteyn BN-4-100
