Death of Lt. Helmut Ternieden 6 St.NGJ 2 March 15,1944.

Hello-I am a new user in Canada.
Does anyone have information about the final mission of Lt. Helmut Ternieden of 6 St. NJG2 (JU88), who died on March 15,1944? I know that he and his bordfunker died in a ground crash after being hit by return fire from a Halifax.
The Halifax was part of 427 Squadron RCAF, attacking Stuttgart. Ternieden claimed a victory of a Halifax 15 Km.SSE of Tubingen at 6000 m., but was then himself killed.
My questions are:
Were there any survivors from Ternieden's crew? i.e did anyone get out before the crash?
Is it confirmed that the Halifax which shot Ternieden down was LW-559, coded ZL-F?
Any other details.
Thanks.
