August with the desperate air war rapidly approaching its climax, Gerhard Ebus along with his unit were tasked with providing fighter escort for the slow bombers, the target on that day was to be the

arriving a few minutes later, during the aerial combat Gerhard Ebus' plane was hit and so badly damaged that he had to bale out. The time 4.30pm, despite frantic efforts, Ebus came down in the
