Loss Bf 110 NJG1 16/17 June 1944

[Hans Nauta]

Dear all,

In the night of 16/17 June 1944 a Bf 110 of NJG1 was shot down near airfield Soesterberg (Holland) by the Mosquito of F/Lt Kendall of 85 Squadron.

The pilot Oblt Heinrich Müller was killed and initially buried at Hilversum.

Does anyone perhaps have more info on file with regard to the identity of this Bf 110 and other crew members (fingers crossed that someone has the NVM)?

Thanks in advance for your efforts,

Hans

P.S. I've checked Balss' work already.
