The pilot was forced to land in a field after taking ground fire from partisans, who were firing carabines and machine guns. The port engines were hit and the starboard engines were already running low on power due to oil pressure loss. A Bordmechaniker was slightly wounded.
The forced landing was executed without further damage. The machine was only slightly damaged, due to the ground fire.
The aircraft had taken off at 12:05 hrs.
