Leutnant Otto Paul Wilhelm Höhne[1] (30 April 1895 – 22 November 1969) was a German World War I flying ace credited with six confirmed aerial victories.

[citation needed] On 30 April 1895, Otto Paul Wilhelm Höhne was born in Woinowitz near Ratibor, Upper Silesia (Oberschlesien), in present-day Poland.

[4] Höhne initially flew with Kampfeinsitzerkommando (Combat Single-Seater Command) Nord, before moving on for a brief posting to Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 1 in early August 1916.

As a squadron commander with Kampfgruppe 54, he briefly flew with the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War, and took part in the Luftwaffe's show of force during the annexation of Czechoslovakia.

He was again badly injured as a passenger in the crash of a Heinkel 111 on 15 August 1941[2] and subsequently served as Generalmajor and commanding officer of the flight combat school in Fürstenfeldbruck (Bavaria).
