Hi Stig

Yes, it would have to have been a very sick bomber to have been at such an altitude..........and lucky not to have already come to grief by hitting anything.
Sadly this altitude would have resulted in total loss of crew. In fact bomber command lost no Lancaster's this night, but guess the altitude could be explained if a mine-layer, or something else obscure. Other of our members are better qualified to answer this. That for 11th April 1944 would have been from the Aachen raid of that night, Bomber command lost nine Lancasters

Did find a loss detail for an Unteroffizier Hans Fischer, but with 9./NJG 2 who crashed his Ju88 South of Geseke at 0905 hrs(daylight) in a non combat situation injuring the entire crew+ Ogfr. Hans Tackenberg, Gefr Bruno Schramm and Uffz Josef Märkl.......10th September 1944.

No proof it's our guy, but does seem a good chance it's him.

Kind regards

Johannes
