Assigned to escort German bombers attacking Southampton, the aircraft engaged in fierce dogfights with RAF fighters before crashing at Tapnell Farm, tragically killing both its pilot, Hermann Rohde, and gunner, Ernst Feder.
On the afternoon of September 26, 1940, the Luftwaffe launched a major, high-priority bombing raid targeted at the Supermarine Aviation Works in Woolston and Itchen near Southampton—the vital factories producing the RAF’s Supermarine Spitfire fighters.
The attack formation consisted of roughly 60 Heinkel He 111 bombers from Kampfgeschwader 55 (KG55). To protect them, a heavy fighter escort of about 60 Messerschmitt Bf 110 "Zerstörer" aircraft from Zerstörergeschwader 26 (ZG26) was deployed, including aircraft 3094 from the wing's 7. Staffel (7th Squadron).
