Not to stir up a controversial subject...
In general, how did the Germans treat captured Soviet flightcrew?
It seems from a reading of the available literature,there was a huge variation.
Some examples:
(1) The tests using captured Soviet POW flightcrews for freezing tests in ice cold water. I remember reading that they used Soviet flightcrew because they wanted a comparison with Luftwaffe flightcrew.
(2) The use of the Luftwaffe Dulag-Ost where Soviet flightcrews were interrogated, kept apart from the other Allied flightcrews.
(3) High ranking captured (HSU winners) who were forced to serve in factories.
(4) Deplorable prison conditions/forced labor for the majority.
(5) However, I 've also seen instances of Soviet flightcrews being treated fairly well in Luftwaffe messes. Also, medical attention being given to the wounded.

No wonder the Germans recruited Soviet POWs for war service by brinnging a Goulash-Kannone into a Soviet POW camp and offering a full mel to anyone who joined up.
