Bf-110 shot down on 5th October 1944?

Dear gentlemen,
I would like clear this case of a LW pilot.
Gefreiter Josef Gratza born on 4th October 1923 Uppersilesia.
His family rumored, he was a Nachtjäger on Bf-110. And he was shot down from an intruder on 5th October 1944 over Finowfurt (Brandenburg). He bailed out but died short time later because of heavy injury of head.
I mean, it could be he was not a pilot but an observer.

Can anyone help me please?

With many regards

Miro
