11/NJG1 loss, S of Paderborn, 14 Feb 1945
 

Three 41 Squadron plots shared the destruction of an Me110 south of Paderborn just after midday on 14 February 1945, which I understand was ME110G-4, G9+FY, WNr. 730364, crewed by Uffz. Gerhard Bauer and Uffz. Rudolf Seratin, who were both killed, and Uffz. Hans Mayer, who baled out injured.

Could someone please confirm the aircraft's identity and location of its loss/crash, and additionally confirm the identities and identify the roles of the crewmen (e.g. pilot, navigator, gunner, etc.)?

Is it also possible to identify their home base (or where they flew from on this particular occasion) and the mission of this aircraft on this date, please?

Any help would be most appreciated

Thanx
Steve

This is a help, but what is a 'sans-filiste'?
