Abumedalia is on a distinguished road
Unteroffizier Leonhard(t) (Leo) Ottmann KG54

Is there any way of establishing if this JU88 pilot flew over the UK during the "Battle of Britain"? I know he was with KG54 - probably 6/KG54. He was awarded a 2nd class Iron Cross in September 1940, and 1st class the following month. He also qualified for his gold bomber pilot badge early in 1941. (I have been given his award certificate) Like many others, I have a great interest in the "Battle of Britain", but have never really looked at it from the Luftwaffe side before.

Is there any way of finding out any further information about Ottmann? I am told that he survived the war and that his flying logbook (with I guess all the answers) is in an official collection somewhere in Germany, but I am not sure if this is correct. Unfortunately all my inquiries about him have more or less drawn a blank so far. I know that there is a history of KG54 - sadly my command of the German language is non-existent!

thanks for looking,
Allan
