Downed allied pilot in Iszkaszentgyörgy Hungary in 1944
Hi!
We are writing a book about count Pappenheim family and the family castle in Iszkaszentgyöry Hungary close to city of Szekesfehervar. One special incident in the family life during the war years that we would be interested in happened in the summer 1944. According to some witnesses an allied plane (presumable British) was shot down over the Iszkaszentgyörgy and one the pilots landed close to castle. Local residents were about to stone the pilot death when count Pappenheim arrived and stopped the mob and took the pilot to his custody. He was later handed over to Hungarian authorities. Can anyone confirm this story and if is true is there any chance to find out what was the plane and who was the captured pilot? Would be grateful for any information. Jari41
