Major Heinz Cramer & Franz Von Werra

Franz Von Werra AKA the one that got away, formed a small tunnelling company at the Hayes Camp Swanwick, Derbyshire of which Major Cramer was made Chairman (he had been Gruppen Kommandeur of II/ LG1 until shot down on 17th Sept 1940).

I'm looking for confirmation that Major Heinz Cramer was one of the five men who broke out of Hayes Camp 13 on 17th December 1940.

Names of the others greatly appreciated. Did they all go to Canada after this escape attempt?

NB - Major Heinz Cramer wrote an article published in Flypast Magazine in the UK late 1980s or 1990s concerning his shooting down and I'd like to know which issue it was.
