German loss in the North on 19 December 1941

Hello,

German losses list show that the Bf 109 E-7 WNr 6315 of 14./JG 77 was lost on 19 December 1941. It was hit in an air battle and force-landed in Lake Engozero area, in Louhi area. The pilot was unhurt according to the German loss lists.

As lake Engozero was in the Soviet held area, I guess that means that the pilot was rescued, probably from the air. Can someone give more detail about this rescue operation ?

I will also be interested to have more details about the Soviet aircraft involved in the above air battle. The site below is usually giving both sides or air battle, but had no details for the Soviet side this day:
