Condor legion pilot Otto Lehmann details needed.

I am researching the Spanish civil war and have uncovered the crash site of NCO Otto Lehmann, date of birth 13/08/1913. He was shot down by "Flak" 05/08/1938 in Riba-roja d'Ebre, Spain. Any information or photos would be gratefully received and will be displayed in our Spanish Civil War Museum.

Hello,
Lehmann was shotdown in his Do-17 of the A/88 coded 27-16 acting as radio operator. He came from the Aufkl.25 located in Wützburg. Where did you got his birth date, from a local memorial gravestone? The crash site I have wrote down is Flix.
Please, check your forum private mailbox.

Hi Fran. Details taken from his headstone. He actually crashed on my friends finca in Riba-roja d'Ebre, 43790 Tarragona, Spain.

Headstone states "Hier starb den heldentod im kampte um em Nationaler Spanien am 5.8.1938 der flieger Otto Lehmann geb 13.8.1913. Zu moven"

Best wishes,
