The aircraft belonged to NAGr5 and was coded Schwarz 2.
T/O Kurland Op: Escape from Russian forces.

Oberleutnant Leibnitz had taken off from Kurland to escape the Russian forces. He belly landed the Bf 109G in a field belonging to the farm “Buldregård” south of Nyker on the island of Bornholm.

Oberleutnant Leibnitz had however run out of luck as the Russians invaded the island on 9/5-45. Between 12-16/5 the Germans were shipped to Kolberg and from there sent to camps in Russia. Oberleutnant Leibnitz died in Russia during the fall of 1945.
