When performing the task of escort and air superiority that they were originally designedfor the Bf-110 Zerstorers Destroyers were very good against Poland and theScandinavian countries early in WWII. But once they were put into this role during theBattle of Britain and came up against the much faster and more agile Hurricanes andSpitfires the Bf-110 suffered tremendous losses. They were withdrawn from this andfound their calling as night fighters that inflicted large losses on the British bombers thatwere unescorted.

In March 1945 4./NJG3 was formed with the purpose of intercepting Allied aircraft over
Scandinavia but it only functioned for a couple of months. On May 8, 1945 the final
function of the unit was evacuating German officers from the area. Aircraft Wr.Nr.110087B4+KA was crewed by pilot Fw. Kurt Keilig, radio operator Fw. Kurt Schroter andmechanic Uffz. Karl Stamminger. This aircraft wasnt used in the evacuation because atthe end of the war it was found in Kjevik Norway.
