Dear Rene ,
I think almost all agree with Russian report (It was South of Stettin) !!!
Thanks - Hubert Swoboda was WIA and died the same day in Lazaret.

PS- Russian version of this action:
"...
11.03.1945 г. десять Як-9 518-го иап (193-я иад, 13-й иак, 16-я ВА) под командованием капитана В.Н.Коршунова сопровождали 17 Ил-2.
Над целью появились четыре Fw-190, которые атаковали сверху сзади шестерку Ил-2, выходивших из атаки. Коршунов со своей четверкой пошел наперерез "Фокке-вульфам" и с дистанции 100 м пушечно-пулеметным огнем сверху спереди сбил их ведущего. В это время другая пара "Фокке-вульфов" на встречных курсах пыталась атаковать снизу советский штурмовик. Лейтенант Д.Н.Верещагин зашел в атаку на эту пару сверху сзади и с близкой дистанции сбил ведущего, который с высоты 400 м, перевернувшись, врезался в землю.
В этом бою отличился и лейтенант Е.П.Замяткин - он также сбил один самолет.
-----------------------------
11/03/1945, Ten Jak-9 under the command of Captain V.N.Korshunova accompanied by 17 IL-2.
Over the target appeared four Fw-190, which was attacked on the back six of IL-2, out of the attack. Kites with his quartet went across the path of "Focke-Wulf" and from a distance of 100 m cannon and machine gun fire brought down the front on top of their master. At this time, another pair of "Focke-Wulf" on a collision course tried to attack a Soviet attack from below. Lieutenant D.N.Vereschagin went on the attack on the couple on the back and at close range shot down the lead, which from a height of 400 meters, turned over (I think for speed jump with parachute?) and crashed into the ground (Yes , it agree on the field (old map) in 1945 and now 2013 - so Russian pilot could see this fact).
In this battle, distinguished and Lt. E.P.Zamyatkin - he also shot down one plane.

So it is a/c as here:
