HOW THE **** IS THE NETHERLANDS BEING NEUTRAL SPECULATIVE??????? Keep the language civil, please.

You are speculating in a daisy-chain. We can assume that Otto is from Denmark because of his last name. However, we have no knowledge regarding his alliances in the war, so posting information regarding the Netherlands' alliance (or lack thereof) and whether or not he fought with the Central Powers is irrelevant. All of this speculation sprung from two details: the preposition "van" and Sly mentioning that Otto was a fighter ace. We actually don't even know if he fought in the first world war.

I understand that you have a passion for history, but this is not Wikipedia, so we keep real world information to a minimum. That isn't me trying to shut you down; it is an issue that has come up before, and a decision was reached. This is our (the community's) decision. i think its better to assume that he was in germany durign the time war was declared and seeing no way to return to the netherlands, had no choice but to conscribe tot he air force of the central powers.
