    Pilot Lieutenant Vilhelm Godtfredsen and Observer Second Lieutenant Gustav Friedrich Brodersen took off from Værløse Air Base in Fokker R-49 for a reconnaissance mission, and at the same time German Messerschmitt 110’s from I./ZG 1 attacked the air base from the east and shot down the Fokker CV M/33.

    As Gruppenkommandeur Hauptman Wolfgang Falck of I./ZG 1 arrived over Værløse he could see the sun reflecting in the rotating propellers of aircrafts being readied for flight and also spotted R-49 taking off and shot it down at 06:25*hrs. It crashed in a field just outside the air base boundary killing both crew members.

    At the base many of the aircrafts found in the open were destroyed.When the attack had stopped, a military ambulance brought the remains of the two fallen airmen to the chapel at the military hospital on Air Base Værløse where they were examined.

    Lieutenant Vilhelm Godtfredsen was laid to rest in Garnisions Cemetery in København on 14/4-1940 while Second Lieutenant Gustav Friedrich Brodersen was laid to rest from Søndermark Crematorium, Frederiksberg on 14/4-1940.
