Re: Finnish pilot Lauri Pekuri-POW adventure
Hello Kari
Yes, it would be interesting to see Trontti’s interrogation papers. According to the Report on Activities 1.6.1944 – 31.8.44 of HLe.Lv. 34 Trontti went missing during an interception sortie to Juustila, which is some 85 km NW from Vammelsuu. Geust et al Red Stars in the Sky 3 gives the place of Serov’s taran as Terijoki (Zelenogorsk) and the crash location of Serov as Vammelsuu (Serovo), which is some km W of Terijoki. The fist claims of HLe.Lv. 34 on 26.6.44 were during 12.55 – 14.10/14.15 mission, which according to Juutilainen’s combat report was an escort mission.
