9/KG51 on 15 May 1940.
 
Can anyone help with the full names of this crew please?
9/KG51.
Heinkel He111H. Operational sortie. Shot down by RAF fighter of 85 Squadron and crashed north of Vitry-le-Francois, France. Uffz. H. Peper (B) killed. Uffz. Alfred Richter (Bf) killed. Uffz. Kurt Hanff (Bs) killed. Lt. Helmut Klischat (FF) captured wounded (Returned). Uffz. A. Bracht (Bs) captured wounded. Aircraft a write-off.
I am particularly interested in Uffz. H. Peper, as I have not been able to find any information on the VDK or Ancestry.

Thank you very much Chris and Matti.
"Gefangen" definitely explains why I couldn't find a grave for him!
Much appreciated.
