There was no follow up to this thread. The letter written to Bergmann's father was dated 31 Mar 48 and is his account of what happened that night. It says they were carrying out Tiefangriff at 600-800 metres and that he was shot down at 0115 hrs (by what he doesn't say) and that he was told afterwards that two aircraft were shot down that night one of which exploded (which was not his). Surman claimed his Bf 110 at 0105 hrs observing an explosion on the port engine after which it dropped like a stone and exploded on the ground
