KG 76 Do 17 lost on 19/5/1940

I am searching the names and the fate of the crew members of a Do 17 lost at St Ghislain (Belgium) on 19/5/1940. Maybe Rudolf Richter (pilot). Thanks a lot for your help.

I have it listed on May 18, 1940 as follows:

2./KG76 Dornier Do17Z. Starboard engine badly damaged in attacks by Hurricanes east of Arras 6.30 a.m. Possibly that attacked by F/L Hope and F/O Cleaver of No. 601 Squadron. Crash-landed near St Ghislain, west of Mons. Oberfw R. Richter, Oberfw W. Laurer, Gefr J. Buchholz, and Oberfw J. Huber captured unhurt. Aircraft a write-off.
