I dont know if it will help anybody but my notes show that the body of Gefr Edi Gustav Paul Frenz (51591/60) was recovered from the sea near the Isle of Rottum on 1 Aug 1940 and buried nearby at Usquert/Groningen/NL on 4 Aug 1940.

Maybe if a reprint is done for BBCA Vol.1/p.9 these crew names can be added to that of the pilot.
