Do 26 Post-Norway 1940

There were 3 surviving Do 26s operating from Brest during the Battle of Britain (formerly Transozean Sonderstaffel/KGzbV 108 but by the Battle of Britain Sonderstaffel/Küstenfliegergruppe 406 subordinate to Küstenfliegergruppe 606). Can anyone tell me more about the unknown crews (In bold):

P5+DH/794: Hptm Wilhelm Brockmann-B; Lt Walter Blume-F; Fw Francisci-BM; Uffz (Herbert?) Ruhnke-BF; Uffz Preuschoff-BM; Fw Albert-BF
P5+FH/769: Oblt Hans-William Reicke-B; Lt Rudolf Mayr-F; Ofw (Konrad?) Ellermann; Fw Klein; Fw Stein; Fw Eger

Re: Do 26 Post-Norway 1940

Available from the Bundesarchiv online, file RM 6/182 says (6) that telegram was sent to OKL at 17.10 on 2 September 1940:
With Tr.O Staffel, of 3 Do 26 on 31/8 three serviceable. On 1/9 two Do 26 serviceable. Fourth Do 26 ferried to Brest on 1/9.
On 10/9 orders are given that "a further Do 26 aircraft of Gruppe Brest" is to be ferried to Gruppe Nord (apparently in Trondheim).

RM 6/181 adds that:
11/8, Extract from Ob.d.L. Sitrep: Brest-Lanvéoc attacked with HE bombs and MG. 1 Do 26 and 1 Bizerte slightly damaged by fragments and MG-fire. Damaged Do 26 will be taken back to Travemuunde for repair.
