Soviet - Finnish air war question for 1941

During the month of September 1941 with the Finnish offensive between Lake Ladoga and Lake Samyozero, did the Luftwaffe provide any air support for Finnish forces? I have ran across reports of Bf 109s attacking Soviet aircraft in that area and shooting them down. There is no matching claims for them in German records and no matching claims in Finnish claims that I have found.

Also a dogfight was conducted on the 10 Sep 41 west of Leningrad. The Bf 109 F-2 # 12 627 came down for a belly landing at Berayarovo with 30% damage (pilot unknown). I have looked for this location without success but I found a Beryozovo which was located to the northwestern part of Lake Ladoga, I believe this was under control of Finnish forces at that time. Any mention of this recovery in Finnish records? This seems a little far to fly to get to Finnish controled territory.
