In that moment the documentation for surrender was already signed with the Britons and the Americans, but not yet with the Russians. So the fights were still fiercely going ahead with the Soviets and the Romanians. The Me-262 I am talking about, after they shot to the ground troops in Czechoslovakia, they landed to surrender on an airfield occupied by the British army. With tears in their eyes, the German pilots also gave explanations about this wonderful plane. This was for the first time when an operational Me-262 changed hands into Allied possession.

But wasn't Vlasov enlisted with his men on the side of the German forces?
Or maybe you are talking about another Vlasov?
