Biography
Otto was born in a small town in rural Germany. In 1939 he was conscripted into the German Wehmacht and fought as a rifleman throught World War 2. In 1945 during the Allies advances through Germany, Otto and his squad were deep behind Soviet held territory. Otto and his remaining squad agreed they would surrender to the allies as they had lost hope in German victory, however surrendering to the russians they believed would grant them certain death, so they made a venture through the enemy lines and their own to try to hand themselves in to the western Allies. During the journey to their goal, many of the squad members would be killed either by being shot at by russians and even their own countrymen, or from being captured and executed by the russian army. Otto would manage to escape along with the few survivors, handing themselves in to British and American forces.
