26.5.40 5/KG27 Bordfunker seriously injured.

On the 26.5.40 5/KG27 following operations to the Ostend area reported a Bordfunker seriously injured. Would anybody have access to the NVM and confirm the name of the injured airman.
The Bf was part of Walter Range's crew, and isnt named in Waiss's KG27 Chronik series.
Any help would be appreciated.
Steve.

Re: 26.5.40 5/KG27 Bordfunker seriously injured.

I've just noticed that on 31.5.40 5/KG27 reported that Bf.Ofw. Hubert Lohmann suffered serious wounds and died on 12.6.40.
Lohmann was Bordfunker in Walter Range's crew.

Since the source is extracted from Ofw.Franz Bertsch's flugbuch another member of Range's crew, I'm wondering whether its been entered under the wrong date?
Best regs,

I have it listed as 31 May 1940.

Thanks Peter, presumably when Bertsch filled in the comments of the flight in his flugbuch he entered this under the wrong date. Perhaps post war?
