[James A Pratt III]

On the axishistoryforum.com The Soviet Union at war 1917-1945 section there is a post (form Soviet-empire): Updated chronology of Soviet submarine victories and losses in WW2 (2022)

Lists the Soviet submarines lost and ships sunk or damaged by them. As for those possibly sunk by German aircraft:

Black Sea ShCh-204 lost 6 Dec 41 sunk by German seaplane HE-59 (more likely), or Bulgarian seaplane AR-196 . Comments: HE 59s were flown by SNS 8 as for Bulgarian AR-196 I don't think they were flown by the Bulgarians at this time. Could it be Bulgarian based German AR-196s? Chronik des SeeKreig has a HE-115 of Gechswader 161!? sinking it.

S-32 lost 26 Jun 42 German Air attack from HE-111 in open sea

L-6 lists 3 possible causes: 16 Apr 44 sunk UJ-115 and BV-138 most likely from SAGr 125.
18 Apr 44 UJ-104

L-23 lists 3 possible causes of loss: 17 Jan 44 UJ-106
18 Jan 44 F-239
30 jan 44 German seaplane , Chronik des Seekrieg has it as a BV-138 of FAGR 125 (should be SAGR 125)

SCHSH-204 was sunk by mine, not aircraft. Found back in 1983 on coordinates of wartime romanian minefield S-18 with damages pointed at mine explosion,
L-23 wasn't attacked by aircraft 30.1.44 because this attack was headed against M-54, which reported it.
