"11 a.m. - 3.15 p.m. A Junkers [JK-268 /Martti] from PLe.Lv.43. [Mission:] Reconnaissance and supply drop. Route: Kemi-Muonio-Lätäseno-Mukka-Vuopio-Skibotn-Alten-Muonio-Kemi. [...] Our plane met a German "Fokke-Wulff" reconnaissance plane, heading south, south of Kilpisjärvi. Our plane's pilot turned behind it and opened cannon fire but the cannon malfunctioned after two rounds and this "Fokke-Wulffe" headed north, dived towards the surface and disappeared. Our plane continued the mission."

I expect the FW was from
Aufklärungsgruppe 32? Is there a mission report available for this encounter?
