German ace Martin Drewes started out with Panzer Regiment 6 but transferred to the Luftwaffe and quickly rose to the rank of Major. He eventually commanded III/NJG 1. Flying his Bf-110G-4 he would manoeuver below unprotected Allied bombers, firing up into them. On one successful shoot up of a fully loaded bomber the ensuing explosion resulted in the destruction of his own aircraft. He flew 235 missions, 43 at night and 50 in 4 engine planes, achieving 52 victories. His awards included the German Cross in Gold; Luftwaffe Honour Goblet, Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross; and Oakleaves for the Iron Cross. The Bf-110G-4 was a dedicated night fighter entering service in late 1942, with a larger engine and the necessary strengthening to accommodate this. This allowed the plane to carry a heavier payloads and also resulted in an extended service life. It also had extra protection and carried factory installed airborne interception radar. There were field kits available so each pilot could personalize his aircraft with various armaments to help achieve a higher success rate. By mid 1944 the Me-410 was replacing the Bf-110G and in February 1945 production ended.
