Hi,
Leutnant Ossendorf?
Arto

Nope. But you have gotten pretty close. Leutnant Ossendorf was the pilot that flew the plane, which carried the group 46/1 (Finnish recon patrol designation) to their very first mission area in the end of August 1942. Who was the leader of the patrol?

[amateur]

Hint # 1: The same man fought among 9 other Estonians as a volunteer in Narvik, Norway against Germans in May 1940.

[Arto O]

Hi Amateur,
