That's it! Thanks Mr Prien. Very much appreciated.
This is the crew of Ju 88 A-4 WNr 300228 B3+AL of 3./KG54 that was shot down near Barham in Suffolk Jan 29th 1944. Uffz Görgen was KIA, the rest of the crew became POW.

A little more on Gorgen ( Umlaut over o) He was at Sch. FlAusb. Rgt 32 , on the 19.9.1941 at Flugzf. Sch. C12 , on 15-3-1943 at Blindflugsch. 3 and posted to KG 54 on 5.5.1943 . He apparently baled out too low and was found dead in his parachute harness hanging from a tree near the crash site with severe head injuries .
