On 22nd November 1941, a lone Heinkel 111 of KG 27 struggled through a violent thunderstorm whilst en route from the Russian Front to Berlin. Wracked by the terrible conditions of the thunderstorm, the He 111 crashed into the ground – three of the five men onboard were killed. One of these was Oberst Werner Mölders; top scoring German fighter ace of the Spanish Civil War, veteran of the Battle of France and Battle of Britain and the first pilot in history to claim one hundred air-to-air victories.
