Loss of 138 Sqn Halifax V9976 20-21/4/1942

I am investigating the loss of this 138 Squadron 'Special Duties' Halifax, which was one of several sorties for SOE to drop two NKVD agents into Austria, under a high-level agreement between the two allies.

On a Tempsford-related website, there is an indication that this Halifax might have been shot down by a German night-fighter near the Tegernsee, right on the border between Germany and the Austrian Tyrol. It crashed into the mountains near the village of Kreuth, but the peaks where it crashed are just lower than 6,000 feet. Does this forum perhaps have anyone familiar with Luftwaffe records who might know of any reports that might support this, or at least where they might be found? There are other possible causes for the loss, but a combat report by a night-fighter unit (for example) would rule these out.
