Bravo, Marsyao! I'd be too lazy to do such a detailed answer. More so I still doubt it will convince the opponents.
>Therefore, the fact that the hero of the He 111 escape was sent to the
gulag was not due only to the suspicious circumstances.
Again. Devyatayev was NOT sent to any gulag. Read all his interviews and last publications. The tale about his gulag experience was created in late 80s - early 90s, when such stories were fashionable.
Answering your post and private message: I'm quite good in Soviet Air force history, and concern myself with VVS KBF (Red Banner Baltic Fleet Air Force) history. I know the fates of many former POWs, had read a lot of books, interviews (and interviewed some by myself) and other materials and I still can't give you a name of the pilot, who was really sent to gulag camp after Nazi camp.
If you know someone - please, give me a name.

Sorry, but this is not a serious reference. Wikipedia is an usual WWW trash can - popular mass
plebs' history. It could be a good elementary reading, but not a serious reference in discussion.
