The Germans were pouring men and supplies down this line to reinforce their front line so it was an important target. When the agent bailed out, the bag containing the explosives, which was attached to his leg, caught on the aircraft and was lost. He landed successfully but because he had no means of completing his task he had to abort the mission and return to Allied lines. The Hudson was on its way home when it was intercepted and shot down. It was subsequently proved that the Hudson was shot down by an American Air Force Black Widow night fighter aircraft. The Americans shot down two Hudsons of 161 squadron that night.
