One known victory, his 1st, a Beaufort 75 km west of Zandvoort on 20 November, 1942. Flugbuch (4/40 to 2/44 showing 1576 flights). Wounded by plexiglass fragments during aerial combat with a Spitfire on 10 March, 1943. A leg wound on 21 February, 1944, cost him a leg. Of his 7 victories, 5 were "4 mot" (B-17s). Also credited with a P-51. Known to fly Fw 190A Wk# 336 and a "Black 10". This may be Otto in the previous record (Magnus has Otto in both JG-1 and JG-11), however Otto in the previous has victories after the loss of a leg in February, 1944. This Ottos flugbuch is dated up to 2/44 when the leg wound occurred. I think these two are the same person with lengthy notes (Wk# 0618 appears in both entries!). |

Night Fighter Operational Clasp | Schmid is claimed to be a veteran of Spain, though no trace of him is in Condor Legion lists. He is also said to have flown in the Battle of Britain. He and his crew, Radar Oper Ofw Paul Rosenberger and Flt Engr Ofw Erich Kantwill planned their defection from Denmark carefully. On 9 May, 1943, with their AC loaded with radar equip, and after circling Peterhead Scotland, landed at RAF Station, Dyce-Aberdeen, Scotland. Surrender indications given to No 165 Sq. aircraft piloted by P/O Arthur Roscoe and Sgt Ben Scamen. Another source says he was in 11 Staffel. Alternate spelling: Schmitt & Schmidt (German sources spell name as Schmid and claim this is the spelling in his Flugbuch. This is also the spelling in British interrogation records after the defection. His first name is commonly - but mistakenly - given as Heinrich). Added: Another source suggests the ac code was "3E + HK" (does not match NF unit). | L-R: At Gilze-Rijen: Kantwill - Schmid - Rosenberger - Unknown | Defection Story | |
