there are so many question mark on Hartmann's May 8 kills that I would dismiss this claim: Hartmann claimed shot down the Yak above a a city when there was still heavy fighting going on, Russians actually had already occupied that city about a week, so there was no ground battle at that time. Hartmann claims he caused a fight between Americans and Soviet fighter in that mission, no such fight existed in either Soviet or US record, and finally no fighter loss could be found in Soviet record in that place and that time
