Russian shoot down of L-4 Cub on 2 May 1945?
On 2 May 1945 a US Army L-4H Cub (43-30385) was believed to be shot down by (2) Russian (LAG-3) fighters over E. Germany, possibly Seehausen.
The two occupants, Major Keith C. Morrison and Group Chaplain Capt. Ralph A. Antonucci of the 196th FA Group died on 8 May and 5 May 1945 respectively.

I wonder if a claim has survived on Russian side of a similar German light aircraft type in the Seehausen area?

Thanks for the info.

Regards and all the best for 2015,
