German
add from Theo Boiten author of Nachtjagd Combat Archive etc.

Ofw. Ziegler and one of his crew of 5./NJG3 were killed after baling out of their Do217 N over the sea near Dammholm, probably after taking hits from the rear gunner of a 51 Squadron Halifax piloted by Sgt. Fletcher


Cheers, Theo
