Re: JG 51 victories (Part 2)

Okay, I don't believe I've posted this one (crossing my fingers).
30 Apr 1942 area of Ramushevo (Staraya Russa - Demyansk region)
Il-2 (# 1879701) 568 ShAP (deputy AE commander) Lt. Mikhail Petrovich Gavrilov (MIA)
Il-2 568 ShAP St. S-t. Kamali Sharafutdizhnovich Bagautdikov (MIA)

3./JG 51 Hptm. Heinrich Krafft Il-2 (.) 16:33
3./JG 51 Uffz. Wilhelm Theimann Il-2 (.) 16:33

On this one I wonder if Krafft and Theimann might have shot down Gavrilov but the Soviet source believes it was both. I did find a II./JG 54 claim 10 minutes before but all of them have no location so I'm going with the source. Gavrilov's remains and aircraft were found in 2010 by one of Kirche's fellow search teams from "Demyansk" in a cold swampy area.
