Feindflug (operational sortie). In the early morning (between 06:08 and 06:42 hrs) RAF Bomber Command Halifaxes raided Duisburg.
Ofhr. Ramsauer and his crew intercepted 51 Squadron Halifax NR248 in Grid Square LN 2 (NE of Venlo), and after his first attack saw that the Halifax started burning in the cockpit area. The German pilot then made the mistake of creeping up very close to his stricken opponent and the Messerschmitt was promptly shot up by the rear gunner. Both the Halifax and the Messerschmitt crashed close to each other in the Dutch-German border area, the bomber crew only having one survivor, but the German crew baling out safely.
