Hi, guys!

I guess the possibility that members of this board can add details with regards to the following loss is quite high:

Hello to all,
according to the book of Mr. Spoden "Ich war Nachtjäger in Görings Luftwaffe" code of the plane was C9+KP. Bordfunker was Uffz. Kiel, who landed with his parachute on top of a house in Berlin, the Bordschütze Uffz. Ballweg was found dead in the crashed plane.
In the book is a Gefechtsbericht about this incidence, where Mr. Spoden had a narrow escape as he got stuck at the tail of the plane when he had bailed out and got free only 1000 m above ground.
Best wishes
Robert

Andreas,
the book has both the facsimile and the reprinted text, however, I just saw that the facsimile gives the code as Ca+KP (with a small a!) and the transcript C9+KP, I guess the first one is a typo as this would be a Ju 86.
In the Gefechtbericht there is nothing about the fate of his crew, this is from the further text.
Theo Boiten in his book "Nachtjagd" gives the same data as Mr. Spoden.
