Soviet P-63 pilot, escaping with He 111 w.V1(s)

At Ubi's IL2 Sturmovik forum there was an interesting story upon which some of you might be able to shed further light before I try to reinvent the wheel.

To quote:

Quote:
The Russian pilot that captured He-111 with V-1 and escaped from the German prison was shot down on P-63C near Koenigsberg and captured by German troops (modern Kaliningrad). Last year in German was TV film about this story. This pilot still alive.
The TV bit should indicate quite some exposure.

This version of the story indicates hostilities between Germans and Soviets, German control of Koenigsberg (or at least part there of) and the use of King Cobra's.

Of course the escape in a V1 launcher Heinkel is icing on the cake!!
