It was early in the afternoon when Feldwebel Karl Bodek approached Aalborg from
the north at 500 metres. When over the farm „Nielsminde“ near Vadum he
collided with a Bf 109 G-6 of 3./JG 102 and his Bf 109 lost the tail.

but his parachute did not deploy properly and he fell to his death northwest of
„Bjørumgård“ farm.
The Bf 109 was a total loss.
