During his career he flew 800 missions and was credited with the destruction of 73+ tanks.[Notes 1] Rainer Nossek was killed on 30 April 1945 when the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 he was flying was bounced and shot down by a Royal Air Force Spitfire XIV from 350 Squadron as he was attempting to land near Schwerin. During the same attack, Knight's Cross recipients Andreas Kuffner and Wilhelm Bromen were killed and wounded respectively.
