Re: Fw Thier I/NJG1
2./ZG1 Messerschmitt Bf110C. Crashed 1 km east of Paderborn airfield during night sortie. FF Fw Martin Thier and BF Fw Adolf Brutsche both killed. Aircraft 100% write-off.
Thier had reportedly suffered radio failure and with zero ground visibility at Rhein elected to divert to Paderborn. Flying with navigation lights on they fell to a freelance night fighter from Paderborn.
