Other sources tell an altogether different story: An article in Fyens Stiftstidende indicates that Paul (later possibly Poul) was instead a friend of Hermann Göring. "On 15th of June /1919/ a great dinner party was arranged to honour Göring at the mansion of Pollner's mother, Åløkkegård, outside Odense". The same source states that Pollner finished his engineering studies, and died 78 years old in 1966. - Can we clarify these contradictory accounts? Yes, we can. It was the other lieutenant, Peter de Hemmer Gudme, who was the resistance man. He died in 1944 in the Gestapo prison. Sorry for the confusion.

Dear @christerd. It is quite some time since you asked about the later whereabouts of Paul Pollner after the end of the Finnish civil war 1918. Perhaps you have found out by yourself that during WWII he was active in the Danish movement of resistance. The accounts indicate that after having been caught by Gestapo, he committed suicide in order to safeguard his compatriots while being threatened by torture. This is certainly something I would like learn about, as I'm also most interested in Paul Pollner's life history. The reason is that Paul Pollner was closely associated with my grandmother Margareta Sofia Ramsay immediately after the end of the civil war. A few days ago I received a transliteration of the diary of Maggie's sister, 'Caje' Carin Quesnay (b. Ramsay), which contains quite a lot of information on Pollner's and lieutenant Peter de Hemmer Gudme's doings during the period in question.
