812 IAP Ml.Lt Mikhail Karasev lost on 13 or 14 March 1944
Hello,

According to the book "Dragons on Bird Wings", Ml.Lt Mikhail Karasev of 812 was killed on 13 March 1944 while crash-landing after an air battle over the Sivash area, north of Crimea, overturning and being burned to death.

But the OBD Memorial and the pilot list for 812 IAP on http://allaces.ru both have the loss date of this pilot of 14 March 1944.

For this latter date, this matches well with the claim of Lt Walter Wolfrum of 5./JG 52 who claimed a Yak-1 shot down in this area this morning.

Can someone confirm one date or the other ?

Thanks in advance
