Re: Danish Pilot Peter Horn - aircraft info wanted
PMoz99
The Rathbone Museum site is wrong.
Both Peter Horn and Poul Sommer survived the war and died in Denmark.
Unfortunately the living relatives of Peter Horn don't want to talk about the past and it has proved impossible for Danish historians to aquire any further details about his life and service in Luftwaffe.
Peter Horn's service in Finland is also very obscure and he is not mentioned with the other Danes known to have been there. It seems likely he came too late to be of any use in the Winter War of 1939-40. Like so many others in occupied Europe he chose once again to fight communism and as Johannes already has pointed out, very likely he served in 1942. It also seems likely he returned home that autumn and never returned to the Luftwaffe, at least not in a fighting capacity.
