some losses from Ehrengard's book “Normandie-Niemen”

Good health to all.
Could anybody, please, help me with the next question:
In Ehrengard's book “Normandie-Niemen”, in the chapter about the battle in October 1944 in East Prussia, the following losses of german pilots are mentioned:
1) 20.10.44 Hptm Schossbig (probably it is Oblt. Schlotte?), I./SG.4, Fw 190 - ? – no source
2) 23.10.44 Uffz. Fischer, II./SG.4, Fw 190, MIA
3) 24.10.44 ffw Koslawski II./SG 4, Fw 190, MIA
In the last two cases, reference is made to some memories of Maj. Dedeliknd from II./SG.4 (does anyone know if they are online?)
The question is: are these real people? Does anybody have any details about them?
Thanks in advance

Many thanks to Rüdiger, Matti and Kristen! So the pilots are real, but the names are spelled wrong. Rüdiger, I think that the place of Gnadenheim is correct, but this is not Balaschowka. Balaschowka, as far as I understand, is a place in Ukraine, an old German colony, but Gnadenheim is also a village in East Prussia where SG4 was acting at that time. It's just a little clarification.

Once again to "Hptm Schossbig" )
III./SG4 Kriegstagebuch has mention about Haupmann Schossig (22.10.44 vermisst). From deZeng & Stankey issue: "09.10.44 trf from I./SG 4 to
III./SG 4.22.10.44Hptm., Stab II./SG 4 MIA - Fw 190 F-8 (Black 6)shot down by AA 10 km S of Gumbinnen."
So this name is also real! Thanks to all again.
