By the way, Motorin's IL-2 (No.18879125) has been recovered still in 2009, the AM-38F engine No.2515263 was clearly visible.

And Motorin was awarded postumously the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Re: Soviet losses 4-5. May 1945
No. All of these (except for the Pe-2) were lost to flak, which does not surprise me at all. In those final days the Luftwaffe had no power (no planes, no airfields, no fuel, no ammo, no nothing) and overall I am very sceptic about their final 'claims'. The ground forces were able to catch some low flying planes here and there, but realistically: that was all.
On May 4-5, 1945 the 565, 996 and 571 ShAP still had heavy fights in the Bern-Sternberg-Olomouc area where they lost a few planes. All to flak! The 17 VA, 136 ShAD, 715 ShAP lost an IL-2 at Miroslav, Czech on May 7, 1945 to flak again. (IL-2, S/N: 12656, engine no.: 2516962, tail No.: '25', мл.л-т Кравцев Петр Васильевич crew, KIA). The next day, on May 8, 1945 - without the details - the 571 ShAP lost 3 IL-10: 1892604, 1890604 and 1893203, the 565 ShAP lost 2 IL-2: 9816 and 10529, while the 996 ShAP lost one IL-2. (No.: 18845111) All to flak. See some details of soviet reports on their May 4-5 losses below. Hope this helps. Gabor Last edited by HGabor; 8th February 2018 at 21:22. |

Re: Soviet losses 4-5. May 1945
On May 4, 1945, IL-2m3, S/N: 1875861 of 1 VA, 1 GvShAD, 136 ShAP has been shot down by flak during their 3rd approach/strike of the target with the гв.л-т Костыгин Василий Матвеевич crew near Satland(?) - couldn't read the location clearly.
On May 5, 1945 an IL-10 was lost from 1 VA, 1 GvShAD, 75 GvShAP with Gv.Maj. Filimonov (dep. comm. of regiment)'s crew onboard. (Couldn't read the event clearly, perhaps it was just damaged and got repaired afterwards, as no AC serial was given.) Gabor |
