Research help requested: OFW Otto Ebenbauer

[Tod Rathbone]

Hello,

If you are reading this, thank you.

I am looking to fill out more of the history of OFW Otto Ebenbauer and would like to find any resources or researchers who can help.

OFW Ebenbauer started in the Austrian Air Force and transitioned to the Luftwaffe as a bomber/transport pilot.

Born 19 January 1915
KIA 8 February 1944

I have some copies of documents and some biography clues and know he is buried in the larger German war cemetery outside Normandy France.

Thanks
Tod
