Closterman's Do 335

I've just read Hans Werner-Lerche's book "Luftwaffe Test Pilot" & was entranced by his description of his last wartime flight in a Do335 from Rechlin to Oberpfaffenhofen. At one point he describes tracer flying past his aircraft & it brought to mind the description in "The Big Show" of an encounter with a Do335. Werner-Lerches flight was on the 23rd or 24th April 1945 between Prague & Augsburg when the tracer incident occurred. These dates don't seem to far off to be the Closterman plane but the "TBS" is somewhat vague on exact dates, this of course may be because its all a product of literary licence as I'm aware some of TBG was, the track of H W-L's plabe seems to me to be too far south for it to be the Clostermann incident?? Any thoughts. Sorry of this has been covered, I did search but found nothing useful.
Steve.
