7/ZG 26 pilots in 1940-Eiberg,Heinrich,Haase,
 

Hello, please help me track the fate of the following 7/ZG 26 pilots who flew on bf 110 in 1940:
Rudolf Eiberg
Hans Grau
Olt Kurt Wilhelm Heinrich
Ofw Siegfried Haase
Fw Hermann Dibowski
Harald Roemer
Josef Bracun
Helmut Lange
Uffz Leonard kaufmann
Kuno Konopka
Lt Hans Arno Seehausen
Ernst Matthes
They claimed only during 1940, so, IMO they were ultimately shot down and killed/POW. Please, let me know details, anyway. Thank you in advance.

Here I am with Ernst Matthes at his home in the Austrian countryside in the early 1990s.

Matthes was Staffelkapitän of 7./ZG 26 during the BoB, and flew in the Med theatre later.
