Thomas Sneum
Thomas Christian Sneum was a Danish flight officer who was among the first British agents in Denmark during World War II. His most spectacular achievement was when, in 1941, he photographed two German Freya radar stations on Fanø and flew across the North Sea to Britain in a small Hornet Moth aircraft with his friend Kjeld Pedersen.
At the night of 21–22 June 1941 he and pilot Kjeld Pedersen made a spectacular escape from Denmark to Great Britain in a D.H. Hornet Moth. This would later inspire Ken Follett with his novel Hornet Flight.
Sneum stated he had planned to assassinate Heinrich Himmler in February 1941 with a longbow from a room in Hotel d'Angleterre, but the plan was, however, cancelled when Himmler failed to appear publicly.
