He jumped together with around 50 men onto the Feyenoord Footballstadion (Rotterdam), captured a electric tram and drove through Rotterdam to the Willemsbrug. He lost 14 death/wounded on his way during fighting nearby the place called "Afrikaanderplein."
Kerfin and his man reached part of 11./IR16 (...120 men from this unit, Oblt. Schrader, had landed before in 12 He 59 seaplanes) on the north side of the bridge(called Boompjes). The Dutch counter-attacked, the German had heavy losses and got cut off their men at the other side of the bridge (Noordereiland. Suffering heavy losses, parts of 9./IR16 and a heavy MG group, previously landed on Waalhaven, reached Kerfin´s group. They got cut off surrounded by Dutch troops until the city of Rotterdam surrended. Kerfin held on with only 36 of his men
