German units operating in Ostrava region

[Nokose]

Recently I came across some Soviet aircraft shot down by German fighters but don't know of any of the units operating in these areas. So I'm looking to see if anyone knows since its in the 1945 time period.

The first is in the area of Ostrava (Czech Republic) on the 27 Apr 1945. A La-7 was shot down by a Bf 109 between 11:05 - 12:05 (Moscow). 8 La-7 had been escorting 9 Boston.

The next was a La-7 shot down on the 27 Apr 1945 in the area of Poruba (Also I believe in the area of Ostrava) while covering 8 Il-2. This involved 4 Fw 190 and 4 Bf 109 between 08:45 - 09:20 (Moscow).

The last was 30 Mar 1945 in the areas of Osterdorf and Burgfeld . This involved 16 Il-2 and 6 Yak-1 against 8 Bf 109 and 4 Fw 190. One Il-2 and one Yak-1 were shot down and 4 Il-2 were damaged.

I was wondering if it might have been JG 77 in the Bf 109s. Is there any idea who the pilots might have been?

Do you know Radek Frajt? He knows more details. One of the La7s was excavated recently...should be article in preparation....

Peter, no I don't know him but I'm sure the data that I read was for him. If he's writing an article that would be great but it might not come out in English. In Prien's previous volumes on JG 77 does it mention these dogfights?
