Important person missed out in this post - the pilot (FF).
Heinkel He111H-3 (6843). Starboard engine hit by AA fire during sortie to bomb Victoria Docks in London and bombs dumped on industrial target. Attempted to reach cloud cover but engaged by fighters and believed that attacked by P/O D.G. Williams together with other Spitfires of No.92 Squadron. Starboard engine caught fire and port engine damaged so belly-landed and burned out on Peasridge Farm at Frittenden, near Staplehurst, 3.00 p.m. Major Maximilian Gruber (Gruppenkommandeur), BO Oberlt Hans-Peter Schierning, and FF Oberfw Günther Schmidtborn all captured unhurt, BM Uffz Eugen Schilling and BF Fw Maximilian Nagl both captured wounded, HS Fw Andreas Grassl killed. Aircraft A1+GM 100% write-off.
Apart from Gruber, this was a 6 Staffel crew flying a 4 Staffel aircraft.
