Otto Huchler
Hello,
I am looking for informations or pictures about the pilot : Lieutenant Otto Huchler of 2/NJG.2; It's for a documentary. He was killed on board his JU88-G1 the 27/7/44 near the village of Amailloux, after combat against Lancaster of 619 Squadron. He was born in Ochsenhausen. Or if possible, contact with his family if possible. Can anyone help me ? Many Thanks |

Re: Otto Huchler
According to the Volksbund he was born in Ochsenhausen
https://www.volksbund.de/graebersuch...3862cb6f92d67a It is a small city and his name is not so common so a search there could find his family. |

Hello ,
Strange enough Michael Balls list and the book Nachtjagd War Diaries Part 2 by Dr Theo Boiten and Roderick Mc Kenzie page124 gives the name as Huchler. Two Lancasters were claimed at25 km north of Vannes at 0015 hrs and Lancaster LM484 from 619 sqdn at 0045 hrs 10 km south of St-Loup Regards Alain57 |

You might try, but given the current data protection law in the EU, I'm afraid they may refuse. :-(
