Crashlanded with several SC50 bombs still on board, wich detonated in collision with ground. Gunner was killed, Dassow miracally survived.

Also, Rudi Dassow is seen on this Wochenschau:

Any possibility to see a picture of this cup? Any date on it? The number of kills of Rudi Dassow are still up for debate as there is insufficient data on his claims.
