Otto Weiß (pilot)
Otto Albert Bernhard Weiß〔His name, in German, is spelled with a "sharp S"; see ß.〕 (25 September 1907 – 19 August 1955) was a German World War II Luftwaffe attack aircraft pilot and recipient of the coveted Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves ((ドイツ語:Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub)). 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. He was the first attack aircraft pilot so honored. Weiß flew more than 500 combat missions with the Henschel Hs 123 and the Messerschmitt Bf 109.〔Obermaier 1976, p. 55.〕
==Early and career==
Weiß was born on 25 September 1907 in Breslau—today Wrocław in Poland—at the time a Silesian Province of the Kingdom of Prussia. He joined the police force (''Polizei'') of the Weimar Republic on 15 April 1926 at police school in Frankenstein in Schlesien and was promoted to ''Polizei-Leutnant'' in 1931. He transferred to the ''Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule'' (German Air Transport School) in Braunschweig for pilot training on 1 March 1933. Weiß transferred to the Luftwaffe on 1 October 1934 holding the rank of ''Oberleutnant'' where he initially served as a technical officer with a reconnaissance squadron. From October 1936 to July 1938, now a ''Hauptmann'' (Captain), he served on the ''Stab'' of Jagdgeschwader 134 "Horst Wessel" (JG 134—134th Fighter Wing).〔For an explanation of ''Luftwaffe'' unit designations see Organisation of the Luftwaffe during World War II.〕 In July 1938 he was appointed ''Staffelkapitän'' (Squadron Commander) of the ''Fliegergruppe 40'' (40th Flyers Group) which was later renamed to II.(S)/Lehrgeschwader 2 (II.(S)/LG 2—2nd Group (Ground Attack) of the 2nd Demonstration Wing).〔Obermaier 1976, p. 54.〕
