Daser was Edmund (later of KG 40). Auffhammer possibly Fritz (later of II/KG 100). Artur Eschenauer? Hermann Crone? Peter von Lillienskiold.

Re: II/KG157 later II/KG27 Crew names.
 

The following is our best estimate as to the names of the individuals that you mentioned, as extracted from our files:

BERTELSMANN, Eberhard.
ESCHENAUER, Artur. (DOB: 23.01.06).
AHLERT, Wilhelm. (DOB: 05.11.11).
SIEHE, Eberhard.
CRONE, Hermann. (DOB: 21.05.08).
AUFFHAMMER, Fritz. (DOB: 28.11.14).
OSSWALD, Heinrich.
LILLIENSKIOLD, Peter von. (DOB: 12.03.15).
REINECKE, Walter. 01.08.39 Oblt., in KG 27.
Lt Imholz, - unknown.
DASER, Edmund. (DOB: 01.10.08 in Augsburg ).
KRIEGER, Walter.
RUPPERT, Franz Waldemar. (DOB: 06.09.11). - probably
KAHL, Konrad (“Conny”?). (DOB: 13.03.12 in Tschechen/Wischau/Mahren). - probably


In most cases the identity is probable or certain, but some of the last few are guesses.

We hope that this meets your needs,
