Otto Franz Pollmann (3 March 1915 – 28 February 1958) was a ''Kapitänleutnant'' of the Reserves with the ''Kriegsmarine'' during World War II and a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grade Oak Leaves was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Pollmann is credited with the destruction of 14 submarines,〔Schaulen 2004, p. 148.〕 though only one, the sinking of HMS ''Tigris'' in February 1943, can be substantiated.〔(HMS Tigris ), Uboat.net〕 Following World War II, Pollmann joined the military service of the Federal Republic of Germany with the Bundesmarine of the Bundeswehr on 1 July 1956 holding the rank of ''Korvettenkapitän'' (corvette captain). Here he served in the staff of the department for submarine hunters of the commando for Naval weapons. Pollmann died on 28 February 1958 while on active duty serving as a NATO liaison officer in the Netherlands.〔Dörr 1996, p.133.〕 ==Awards== * Iron Cross (1939) * * 2nd Class (22 May 1940)〔〔Thomas 1998, p. 167.〕 * * 1st Class (3 March 1943)〔〔 * Minesweeper War Badge (23 November 1940)〔 * Wound Badge in Black (17 July 1942)〔 * German Cross in Gold on 26 January 1944 as ''Oberleutnant zur See'' of the Reserves on ''U-Jäger 2210'' in the 22.''U-Jagdflottille''〔Patzwall & Scherzer 2001, p. 356.〕 * Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves * * Knight's Cross on 19 May 1943 as ''Leutnant zur See'' of the Reserves and commander of ''U-Jäger 2210'' in the 22.''U-Jagdflottille''〔Fellgiebel 2000, p. 342.〕 * * 461st Oak Leaves on 25 April 1944 as ''Oberleutnant zur See'' of the Reserves and commander of ''U-Jäger 2210''〔Fellgiebel 2000, p. 82.〕 * Mentioned in the ''Wehrmachtbericht'' on 24 January 1944 and 9 May 1944 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otto Pollmann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
