Re: Need first name of Uffz ___ Otten, of 3./StG1 FL at Oronsko, Poland, on 25.09.39

Larry,
you well know, that on 25.09. was dane against Warsaw very heavy fire attack by LW + field artilerry. Very terrible day for citisens and defenders, plenty killed (5000-10 000?) + many huge fires in whole Warsaw area. The attack totaly crushed the defence spirit and the city very soon capitulated after it (27.09. - the end).

During this day defenders claimed several victories, but no so many (1 Ju 87 - 100% loss of 11./LG 1 + 2xJu52). This Ju 87 matched to it, but not as a totaly destroyed and not specified the reason of damage (pilot's error or combat damage?).

Thanks for comments,
mw
