Re: Downed allied pilot in Iszkaszentgyörgy Hungary in 1944
Hi!
In 1944 castle was run by count Alexander zu Pappenheim (born 1905). He died in 1995 in Salzburg.
If and as I have been told the pilot was captured in the daytime so it must have been then an American pilot. Incident happened between July 1944 and September 1944.
One more interesting historical detail is that family Oppenheim left they home castle in October 1944 because of approaching Red Army. Count Pappenheim returned once in the home late 1944 only to find out that castle was serving as a German army headquarters. Would be interesting to find out which headquarter was located in the castle!
