Need help with crew names
 
Hi all,
here is a scan of the back of a photo of a Luftwaffe crew.

I can read:
Bes(atzung) Uffz ?????
then there are 4 names
uber London ausgestiegen
seitdem vermisst.

Can anyone fill in the names?

Thanks in advance.

Looks to me like Bes. Uffz. Gürgen, Zehntner, Gürgen, Brüning, Sprenger.

Gürgen may be Jürgen instead.

That's it! Thanks Mr Prien. Very much appreciated.

This is the crew of Ju 88 A-4 WNr 300228 B3+AL of 3./KG54 that was shot down near Barham in Suffolk Jan 29th 1944. Uffz Görgen was KIA, the rest of the crew became POW.

A little more on Gorgen ( Umlaut over o) He was at Sch. FlAusb. Rgt 32 , on the 19.9.1941 at Flugzf. Sch. C12 , on 15-3-1943 at Blindflugsch. 3 and posted to KG 54 on 5.5.1943 . He apparently baled out too low and was found dead in his parachute harness hanging from a tree near the crash site with severe head injuries .
