What does the historical record and research say about this story concerning Hans-Joachim Marseille?

From Luftwaffe Profile:

"Having noted his 100th kill on June 17, 1942, he was supposed to take a five week's leave in Germany. According to unconfirmed sources - which nevertheless laid the ground for a feature film - Marseille should have tried to "back out" in Italy, after having been detailed on the "final solution" intended for the Jewish people. According to this version, he was caught by the Gestapo and given the choice of returning to his unit and continue to play the role of Luftwaffe's war hero No 1 - or having himself and his whole family executed. What is known is that he didn't return to his unit in Africa until the end of August, with the explanation given that he had "disappeared with a woman in Italy"."
