Re: Meaning of two German Terms used in 1944/45

Hi Martin, Rémi, and Andreas,

thanks for the feedback.

In terms of the context in which "Otto-Flugzeuge" was used by the OKW, it was referencing the replacement of or transition from "Otto-Flugzeuge" (petrol- or piston-engined aircraft?) with/to "Strahler" (jet aircraft).

I am also not sure if the term "Otto-Flugzeuge" was in common usage, or if it may have been mis-applied by OKW in this instance (after all, I don't think the Luftwaffe used fighter aircraft with "lawn mower" engines : )).

Cheers

Rod

Cheers

Rod
