During a routine evening flight at 10,000 meters, his radio suddenly went silent and his navigational system developed problems. He dropped to a lower altitude and fired flares, hoping an airfield would light up for him to land. With no response, he decided to bail out, breaking his upper left arm doing so. He came down in the south of Sweden and expressed his wish to be returned to Germany (Source: B.Widfeldt). |
