Not quite.
1st/Lt John R. Traige, flying P-47D 44-33575, was on a mission over the Flensburg area (much farther North than Bavaria) and was lost of sight by his wingman over Eckenforde Bay.
A map of the alleged crash-site is attached to the MACR.
Furthermore, this action took place one day earlier - on 3 May 1945.
The mystery still remains.
