Arthur Roberts bailed out of a Wellington bomber. He eventually linked up with Italian partisans and headed for Switzerland, but was captured in a farmhouse by hardcore Nazis who took him prisoner but shot the partisans. The rear gunner tried to turn his turret manually but accidentally gripped the ripcord of his parachute, he managed to turn the turret but fell out backwards clutching the opened parachute. Pilot Harry Pollard and the bombardier both perished also.
