Hi Gabor,
2 Fw 190 was shot downed on 8.5.1945 around 20:00 in the vicinity of Nadryby, N from Pilsen (the city of the famous Pilsner Urquell beer):

There is info:
„Larson and one other F-6 pilot made contact with two FW-190 aircraft apparently en route to Switzerland. Pulling along side the 190´s, the American waggled their wings in an attempt to lead them to an airfield. Not about to surrender, teh Germans began to take evasive action and eventually crashed their aircraft into the forest below in a desperate attempt to escape the Americans. Through no shots were fired during the engagement, this episode proved to be the final encounter between American and German aircraft in WW II.“
From US side, there was 2 photo version of P-51 - F-6 from the 10th PRG and pilots was 2./Lt. Leland A Larson and 1/Lt. George R. Schroeder.
Based on the local info, both Fw 190 was shot downed, it was not accident - Fw 190 was probably from SG 9,SG 10,SG 77 - the pilots perished. On of them was probably awarder by DEUTSCHES KREUZ IN GOLD, so maybe this is crash of Obfw. Rudolf Wendt, who is missing from 8.5.1945.
Area between Karlovy Vary - Plzeń - České Budějovice was liberated by US army and maybe this area was covered by reconnaissance units.
