I have one additional crewman in the KELLNER crew ?

7./KG51 Heinkel He111H. Engaged by Lt Marin-la-Meslée and Lt Perina of GC I/5 over Ste-Menehould during sortie to Vitry-le-François. Crashed and burned out in the Forêt de Hesse, between Parois and Avocourt, 5.45 p.m. BM Flgr Richard Graul and BS Flgr Kurt Lang both killed. FF Fw Anton Kellner captured wounded at Montzéville, BO Gefr Alfred Siller and BF Gefr Fritz Schulz both captured unhurt – all later released. Aircraft 9K+ CR 100% write-off.

Good morning Matti and Peter, thank you ever so much for providing the first names and functions of said crews.
Peter, i had the other name of the crewman in Kellner's crew, but i had Graml rather than Graul. Presumably a typo?
Kindest regs,
Steve.
