This report - availible in german only - describes the visit of the former navigator Reginald Wilson to the place at Berlin his Halifax LW337 came down on Jan 20, 1944 after a "meeting" with a BF110 Nightfighter piloted by Hauptmann (Captain) Leopold Fellerer, temporary Group Commander of the II. Nachtjagdgeschwader5.
Four of the crew could bail out and survived as POW, two where found dead but two where MIA. During the visit some pieces from the plane could be found, but - not only from the plane... one MIA destiny is not longer a secret.
Cheers,
Edgard
