Re: Downed allied pilot in Iszkaszentgyörgy Hungary in 1944
Is this fellow any relation to Graf von Pappenheim?
RABE von PAPPENHEIM, Ernst. 09.01.43 Oblt.(d.R.), trf from Erg.KGr.z.b.V. 300 to Minensuchgruppe 1 and appt Staka 2./MSGr. 1. 05.43 appt Staka 5./Minensuchgruppe 1 (to 08.44). 12.44 Hptm. and Staka 4./MSGr. 1.
If the plane shot down in summer 1944 was brought down during daylight hours then it was American. If it was shot down at night, then it was probably British.
Either way, it will be very difficult to identify the crew member without a specific date. Many planes were shot down over Hungary during the summer of 1944.
