Two Mistel of II./KG 200 caught by the gun camera installed in the P-51 flown by Lt Bernard H Howes of the 55th FG. The Mustang pilots had spotted the Mistel after they pulled up following a strafing attack on a locomotive near Hagenow on 3 February 1945. The Mistel were part of a formation of four flying from Burg to Tirstrup to take part in Operation Drachenhöhle. Following the P-51 attack Howes witnessed one Mistel crash into a village, where it blew up houses
