Kirill, thank you again for the help.
So it is safe to say that of these 3 losses none was inflicted by Stotz.
i know that 224 ShAD had 3 losses, while operating in the Nasovoye, Myasnikovo, Gorodok area. Can't precise where these areas are.
After making further checking I found that 611 ShAP (at the time still with 224 ShAD) lost Mld. Lt. Ivan Konstantinovich Matyukhin (Mia) in the Vetrino Novosel'e.
Can these losses be traced to Stotz's claim?
