57 Squadron Wellington T2804, lost on 9-10 April 1941 Berlin raid

Dear all,

57 Squadron Wellington T2804 was lost on the 9-10 April 1941 Berlin raid. A secondary source stated re. the cause of loss 'shot down by Flak on return flight near Düsseldorf', but I have not been able to find a Flak claim that could possibly be matched to the loss of T2804. All of the crew were taken PoW, including two of the RNZAF, one crew member was severely injured and possibly repatriated. Can anybody shed new light on the cause of loss, and the area where it was lost?

Cheers and thanks, Theo
