KG40 HE111 loss April 10 1941

On April 10 , 1941 a HE111 from III/KG40 was shot down 3 miles south-west of St.David's Head by fighters from No79 . I believe all the crew were killed , can anybody please give me their names and were any bodies washed ashore later ?
Thanks

Matti
Both Karl Bucek and Hans Salzsieder are KIA on 41-04-09 according to volksbund.de
So 41-04-09 must be the correct day.

Karl Bucek was originally buried at Pembroke Dock Military Cemetery. He is now buried at Cannock Chase, Block 7, Grave 292.

Hans Salzseider is recorded as lost, but has no known grave.
