Found it. He was swamped by P51's and they were chasing him around untill he ran out of gas. He jumped.
He was also hit in Russia, and was briefly captured after crash landing his aircraft behind enemy lines.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
