Finnish Ju 88 dogfighting German Fw 189 on January 24th 1945

From Finnish Air Force HQ's situation report on January 24th 1945:
http://digi.narc.fi/digi/fullpic.ka?kuid=4894605

Quote:
"11 a.m. - 3.15 p.m. A Junkers [JK-268 /Martti] from PLe.Lv.43. [Mission:] Reconnaissance and supply drop. Route: Kemi-Muonio-Lätäseno-Mukka-Vuopio-Skibotn-Alten-Muonio-Kemi. [...] Our plane met a German "Fokke-Wulff" reconnaissance plane, heading south, south of Kilpisjärvi. Our plane's pilot turned behind it and opened cannon fire but the cannon malfunctioned after two rounds and this "Fokke-Wulffe" headed north, dived towards the surface and disappeared. Our plane continued the mission."
I expect the FW was from Aufklärungsgruppe 32? Is there a mission report available for this encounter?

Hello Martti
