Searching for Information on 2 Luftwaffe Soldiers

[Brig]

I just received 2 pieces of the framework from a crashed ME-110 Nightfighter. I am searching for any information on either on these two men:

Pilot Sergeant Franz Westphal
Radio Sergeant Friedrich Schopwinkel

Here's what I know:

Squadron:5
Group: NJG 1
Plane Type: ME-110 G4
Manufactorer Number: 5573
Plane Marking: G9+HM

This plane crashed on Nov. 29, 1943 in the forest of Rocherath, Belgium 5KM south of Bullingen/Eifel Airfield. Official reason for crash unknown. Both men listed above KIA

how can nI go about finding information? Thanks
