Fw 190's tranfer to Norway May 5, 1945

I'm trying to bring up as many facts as possible about three forced landings in southern Norway close to the Swedish border, just three days before the war ended.
Need additional help with unit, names and serial numbers etc.

Two of the Fw's landed successfully on a field. The pilots were from Estonia, Oblt.Edgar Martensohn flew "Yellow 7". Lt.Jahn Sepa "red 3"
A picture shows parts of the serial number (WNr.xx5525)

The third Fw 190 landed on another field 10 km further north.
Have very little info about this one. Lt.Kurt xx took off from Sylt(Denmark) together with seven other aircrafts. Pilot was 23 years old, born in a large city in Northern Germany!

In total 114 German aircrafts managed to transfer to Norway on the morning of May 5, 1945

Regards Kjell
