Loss of KG 355 Heinkel He 11 During the Anschluss

Hi all

I have read that KG 355 sent 23 Heinkel He 111Es to join the victory display over Vienna on 13th March 1938. They were caught in a snow storm while trying to return to Germany and one aircraft crashed, killing the crew of four.

I have recently acquired these photos, which show the funerals of the crew, named as Uffz. Steiner, Uffz. Kopek and Uffz. Stemmler. There are three crew named and three coffins shown. Does anyone know the names of the full crew and what became of the fourth man?

Any help appreciated

(Apologies for the typo in the heading!)
