Crew was: Pilot Lt. Claus Bötker. other crew members: Uffz. Fritz Seiler, Uffz. Armin Möller and Ufz. Otto Adler. all killed;
Newspapers at that time reported a spanish officer on board and the following markings on the aircraft: N-A-O-Y-E-R and "Hamburg Allon (orth?) GDN" on rudder.

Any information is welcome.
