Attempt to identify Luftwaffe losses in the last 6 months of the war using the example of Mikhail Kuzmin (15.ORAP VVS KBF)

[Monaco]

Hello Andrey,
interesting soviet pilot...maybe I can add some to what you´ve found so far:
13.11.44
"Units like 2./SAGr.130 were part of the broader Norwegian-Baltic coastal air commands (Fliegerführer Nord) and operated in the Skagerrak and southern Baltic regions", then using Rønne on Bornholm as a base. The unit lost a BV 138C1 on 13.11.44 missing (100%) according to RL2 III/846 (via http://www.luftwaffe-zur-see.de/Seel...n/Jahr1944.htm).
I´m not pretty sure if this info about 2./SAGr.130 is correct as I so far thought it operated only in the Polar zone, but maybe in the winter months it was ordered south to the Baltic...?
17.11.44
On 17.11.44 SAGr.126 recorded 1 Ar 196 A missing (100%) and a second Ar 196 A total loss through enemy onboard weapon fire (100%). A BV 138 C1 of 2./SAGr.130 was a total loss (100%) - betriebsbedingt (RL 2 III/846) http://www.luftwaffe-zur-see.de/Seel...n/Jahr1944.htm)
9.2.45
Maybe: "FW 190A" Uffz. Helmut Johne, pilot, Stabsstaffel/JG 51 – shot down in air combat? The pilot died - 1 VA pilots claimed 8 Fw.190s that day, flak one further.
18.2.45
Did Kuzmin in both combats describe the Ju.52s as minesweepers - maybe a misidentification with the equally three-engined Ju.352 in murky conditions over sea was possible...
On 18.02.45 13./TG.4 lost a three-engined Ju.352 through unknown cause between Vietzkerstrand and Heiligenbeil with the crew Fw. Hermann Reuschel (FF), Uffz. Johann Baumgart (Bf), Fw. Friedrich Stadler (Bm), Ogefr. Johann Manoch (Bs) all MIA and Ogefr. Willy Lüdtke KIA.
Crew according to RL III/1197: Ofw. Peulster (FF), Ogefr. Ordnung (Bf), Fw. Wastian (B), Ogefr. Lustig (Bm), Uffz. Steffen (Bs) all KIA, Ju.52/3 of 6. Minensuchstaffel crashed due to enemy fire (100% loss).
19.02.45
Maybe also a Ju.352 misidentified:
On 19.02.45 15./TG.4 lost a three-engined Ju.352 in a ditching 7km W Pillau (100% loss) with the unknown crew save, whilst Großraum Tr.St. Lost 1 Ju.352 A at Pillau A/D through enemy fire (100% loss), the crew of Ofw. Hebler escaped without losses.
12.04.45
"Bf 109G" Hptm. Günther Schack, corps of group I./JG 51 – shot down by Yak-3 of the Normandy-Niemen regiment? Pilot alive, facial burns - Schack was prob. s/d in combat with GC Normandie, pilots of 1 VA claimed 14 victories over Fw.190/Bf.109s.
13.04.45
No additions. German losses probably not recorded anymore.
