Me 262 losses 27 Apr 1945

On 27 Apr 1945 the 355 IAP (181 IAD) had 6 Yak-9 and 4 Yak-3 escorted 9 Il-2 to the target 4 km NW of Bautzen. They claimed 2 Me 262 and 1 Fw 190.

St. Lt. Aleksandr Petrovich Dolgunov 355 IAP Yak-9 (another account Yak-3)
Me 262 (6) 18:35 (M) Doberschutz, Germany

Ml. Lt. Bublikov 355 IAP
Fw 190 (?) Dreza?, 8 km E of Bautzen

Book: JG 7 The World's First Jet Fighter Unit 1944/1945 by Manfred Boehme Page 173
"During the twilight hours of April 27, 36 jets of JG 7, III./KG(J) 6 and KG(J) 54 were sent to attack supply columns in the Cottbus area. The low rate of fire of the MK 108 made it only marginally suitable for this type of operation, but this was more than made up for by the explosive power of its ammunition. A total of 65 trucks was left ablaze after two passes.
On the return flight the jets, most of them by now out of ammunition, crossed paths with a large formation of Soviet Il 2s. Only eight to ten of the Me 262s still had enough ammunition to attack the enemy aircraft. Six of the heavily-armored close support aircraft were shot down for two losses. Unfortunately, the names of the victorious German pilots are unknown."

So is there any more information come up about the German losses and who made claims?

Re: Me 262 losses 27 Apr 1945

Sorry, I don't have anything about the Soviet VVS losses at the time of the dogfight yet. I was hoping that some more information might have come out on the German losses and also who claimed victories in the series by J. Richard Smith and Eddie J. Creek in the four volumes they wrote on the "Me 262".
