Re: Danish Pilot Peter Horn - aircraft info wanted
Wasn´t he from the North Schleswig German minority, part of the Deutsches Reich until 1920? Thus the "free will" to join the german forces was somehow limited as it was with Alsatians, Westprussians and inhabitants of the Eupen-Malmedy region. They were only able to choose the wrong side regardless which side they chose. Being court-martialled was a certain fate - either in 1940 or in 1945.
