Help please FW190 crash site in and around the North-West of Mohrin airport

Hi
Would anyone be able to help with a crash site of a FW190 (I think a D variant) as I have acquired a relic control grip but sadly no werk number for this aircraft, the only information that I have is that the grip was found at Mohrin auxiliary airfield near Konigsberg airbase, the previous owner feels that it was destroyed at the airport during the raid, Nachtjagdger1 was stationed in 1945 at the airfield in Konigsberg Neumark.

I was wondering if anyone would have any information on the FW190 that was destroyed by the Russian Pilot Ivan Kozhedub on the 10/2/45 as some research shows that this aircraft was destroyed North-West of Mohrin airport, would anyone possibly this aircraft's exact location?

Any information on Mohrin airfield would also be very much appreciated.
