Fate of a Ju88 of KG26 July/August '44

Hello. I'm looking for information about a Ju88 of III.KG26 which disappeared in the night of 31st. July to 1st. of August in 1944, possible around Ibiza (Spain).

Ju88 with 'Zulassungsnummer' (registration) 1H+FT
Crew:
Uffz. Berhard Oehl
Uffz. Karl-Heinz Ugrics
Obgefr. Hans Hohnke
Gefr. Manfred Erlen

As far as my research goes, their mission was to attack an American convoy near Algiers.
I have Uffz. Oehl's Flugbuch (flight log), which states they started at 2235 on 31. July at Garons in southern France. The aircraft did not return.
The body of the pilot, Uffz. Ugrics, was eventually found near Ibiza and was buried there. The other crew members remain missing.

All information regarding this aircraft and fate of the crew would be very helpful.
Thanks!
