on april 4 1945 P-51Ds reported engaging reported "long nosed fw 190s", during the dogfight "psyche" was shot down, while the second aircraft made a split S and crashed.

This happened over ludwigslust airfield, but did the german pilots file any claims on that day?

It is also possible that the P-51Ds stumbled upon unknown Ta-152 pilots of JG-301 stab wich were stationed at ludwigslust airfield

By that late stage claims might have been filed but not officially credited what with the clerks in Berlin being kinda distracted.

The flight that engaged (was attacked from a cloud deck above and behind by four FW 190D's) was from 354FS/355FG Led by future B070 Chief test pilot Al White. Truell in WR-P was shot down, Goth in WR-P was KIS trying to follow a 190D in a split S. White shot down on of the FW 190D's. The encounter was cited for Ludwiglust, but the mission was flown under a low overcast and actual location was uncertain.

YEP -

I 'mis remembered' the order. Goth shot down while stalking a 190D in front of him, Truel crashed chasing the one that shot down Goth.
