Josten and Sruckmann info needed

[srob48]

On 05.07.1940, the Luftwaffe Loss Returns recorded the following 2 losses:

6/ZG26, Bf110, Lt. Josten and 1 man missing. Aircraft lost.

II/JG77, Bf109E, Lt. Struckmann killed. Aircraft a write-off.

Unfortunately, I didn't write down the crash dates, but they must have crashed on or before 05.07.1940. Does anyone know cause of crash, place, etc?
