Seeking first names for seven pilots with 5./KG28 during the Polish Campaign

Hello,

I'm trying to determine the first names of the following seven He111 personnel who led 5./KG28 crews during the 9.39 Polish Campaign: Oblt Schulz, Oblt Schneider, Uffz Albrecht, Uffz Erkens, Uffz Lampenschef, Uffz Prochow and Uffz Vogel. The name of the Sta Kap at this time was Hptm Fritz Stadelmayer, and the leader of another crew was Fw Fritz Specht. That accounts for the leaders of nine of the approx. 12 crews from this unit. Does anyone know who the leaders of the other three or so unit crews were at this time? Note, on 15.12.39, 5./KG28 became 5./KG54, so many, if not most of these personnel probably transferred to that unit. However, they do not appear to be among the relatively few Staffel casualties to 5./KG54 through the end of the WC/FC. It is not clear to me whether these men were FF or BO on their crews, as the BO, not the pilot, was often the leader of an He111 crew.

Who can help me here?

Regards,
