Ju 88 who lost 2,5 meters of right wing - Russia

Good night to all.
I am looking for more details about the FULL names ( searched on Kracker and got no joy ) and perhaps the date of the incident below ( from a very crude book by Karl Bartz ):
1- A Ju 88 crew ( pilot Stuhler, Haist, Metz and Schlegel ) took off from Bagerowo to bomb Flak positions at Krimskaja ( Kuban ). They were hit and lost almost 2,5 meters of the right wing.
The crew managed to return to base.
Could someone help me identifying the DATE / Kampgeschwader / aircraft codes and full names of the crew? I do know this is a shot in the dark, but maybe someone heard or read about this accident.
Thanks for all help.
Adriano

Could be this:
1943-05-09, 8./KG 51, Ju 88A-4, 883825, Bagerowo, Flakbeschuß. Bruch 60 %.
F Uffz Stuhler, Erwin

Unfortunately I have not other data.
