6.Minensuchstaffel loss on 18 Februay 1945

I am searching to confirm the crew list of the Ju 52/3 MS WNr 3437 of 6.Minensuchstaffel that was lost on 18 February 1945.
http://www.luftwaffe-zur-see.de/Seel...n/Jahr1945.htm says that the loss was due to "Absturz infolge Feinbeschuss". The five crew members were all killed. They are listed as:
Ofw Peulster (FF)
Ogefr Ordnung (Bf)
Fw Wastian (B)
Ogefr Lustig (Bm)
Uffz Steffen (Bs)

What I found so far:
FF: no Peulster found on fold3 or Volksbund, but I found a death card for Karl Peuster of 6.Minensuchstaffel (https://www.fold3.com/image/692078209) who was killed on 18 February 1945 in sea off Libau during a war flight (Feindflug). Volksbund confirms with an Ofw Karl Peuster being lost on 18 February 1945 at sea near Libau.
Bf: Volksbund has an Ogefr Kurt Ordnung lost at sea on 18 February 1945. No Ordnung on fold3 but an Ogefr Kurt Ordung (missing an n) of 6.Minensuchstaffel (https://www.fold3.com/image/692751659) who was killed on 18 February 1945 in sea off Libau during a war flight (Feindflug). Both men have same date of birth, so probably are the same.
B: fold3 (https://www.fold3.com/image/691988375) and Volksbund agree on a Fw Alois Wastian dying on 18 February 1945 at sea near Libau. Fold3 adds that he belonged to 6.Minensuchstaffel and as the men above was killed on 18 February 1945 in sea off Libau during a war flight.
Bm: nothing found on fold3, but Volksbund has an Ogefr Erich Lustig dying on 18 February 1945 at sea near Libau.
Bs: nothing found on fold3 or Volksbund. It is a more common name, and none of the war dead I found are at the right date or in the right area.

Thanks in advance
