Crew positions - Ju 88 lost on the 10.02.1945

[Melvin Brownless]

Hi all,

Busy again preparing remembrance pages for our website, I have a photo of the pilot of this Ju 88 a Lt. Gerhard Schaefer. From Kjell's excellent site I discovered the names of the rest of the crew of whom all four survived.
His fellow crew members were Ogfr. Gries (first name?), Uffz. Herbert Hoppe and Ogfr. Richard Gattner. I would be most grateful to know the crew positions in the aircraft and of course the first name of Gries - Can anyone help?

Kind regards,

Melvin
