Two unnamed airmen, 03.03.1945?

In a very vague report from A.D.I.(K) to PWIB dated 11.04.1945, it mentioned two unidentified airmen, EKM's 53268/11 and 53266/54, and the date of death or burial as 03.03.1945, no location is given, any names suggested?
Thanks
Joe

ADI(K) report 226/1945 gives location as Luvigny about 30 milesW.S.W of Strasbourg at about 0616 hours, a/c code was A3+BB. Hoff, Helmdach, Ratzer, Lott, Bottcher and Adams are shown as Pow's. Mission was to drop nine agents and supplies which had been done before the aircraft fell to a N/F,

Regards
