Mayor Kuznestov & General Mayor Kravchenko

Hello,
I'm looking for détails about the last mission of Mayor Kuznestov, the CO of the 236 IAP and General Mayor Grigoriy Kravchenko (215 IAD). They were both downed on the 23rd February 1943 in the Leningrad sector.
At what time were killed these two pilots ?

Thanks for your help.

This happened at 12.50-13.25 (M.T.) in combat with I/JG54 in Yam-Izhora - Mga area.
Two La-5 of 263 IAP were damaged and left the battle to make force landings on the home field (claims by Scheel and Mack). Three more of St.Lt. Smirnov, Maj. Kuznetsov and Gen.Maj. Kravchenko were shot down with pilots being killed (claims by Fuchs, Ademeit and Beutin).

The first name of Kusnetsov is Victor. As regards to Smirnov, unfortunately I don't know.
