"On 05.09.1943 at about 19:30 hrs a four-engined Halifax bomber of 10 Squadron Royal Air Force, registration JD322 ZA-V, took off from RAF Melbourne Air Force Base, in the county of Derbyshire, Great Britain with the mission to carry out an attack on Ludwigshafen/Mannheim. As part of a bomber stream of over 600 aircraft, this was one of the worst attacks on the two cities in World War II."

The plane was hit south of Mannheim. Possibly first by pilot OFw (Oberfeldwebel) Richard Launer and Uffz (Unteroffizier) Schramm, in combination with anti-aircraft guns (shot officially confirmed by anti-aircraft unit Mannheim) over Mannheim-Neckarau. The flight ended on a field near Waldsee, Rhineland-Palatinate.
