Ltn Otto Hollman PoW 1940
Hi guys
I can't find any operational unit/date of capture of Luftwaffe pilot Otto Hollman, a companion of Franz von Werra during their escape from the Canadian PoW train in January 1941. In their book "The One Who Got Away", Burt Kendal & James Leasor state that eight prisoners escaped from the train at various stages of the journey. All except van Werra were recaptured. Any names etc? Any help appreciated. Brian |

This would be Oblt Ottmar Hollmann of 2./KG 26 POW 15 Jul 40 (his story is in my Luftwaffe Bombers Battle of Britain)
