Unteroffizier Benno-Felix Arndt was together with another Bf 109G on a transfer flight from Germany to Fliegerhorst Aalborg when his aircraft crashed into a field belonging to „Mariedal“ farm in True near Brabrand at 14:45 hrs.

The death body of Arndt was retrieved from the wreckage by 6 Russian soldiers under the command of two German.
