The crew of four was thrown clear of the wreck and was found lying dead in the field.
Pilot Unteroffizier Kurt Landrock, Navigator Obergefreiter Gerhard Schön, Wop Unteroffizier Karl Piatz and Air gunner Unteroffizier Sönke Sönnichsen were all laid to rest in Frederikshavn cemetery on 6/1 1943.

The JU 88A-5 was a 95% loss.
