The plane was a Junkers Ju 188A-3 torpedo conversion. Unfortunately, I have no W.Nr. or unit code for this aircraft. They were on a transfer flight from Vaernes airfield (near Trondheim) to Bardufoss airfield on 2 May 1945, when the plane was reported missing over open sea off Narvik.
The whole crew was reported killed.

You have Josef Proske, so I hope someone can verify what is correct.
