Otto Pollmann (3 March 1915 - 28 February 1958) received the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes on 19 May 1943 as Leutnant zur See der Reserve and Kommandant U-Jäger "UJ 2210" / 22.Unterseebootsjagdflottille. As the commander of the submarine chaser “UJ-2210”, Pollmann and his crew succeeded in sinking 4 enemy submarines and decisively assisted in the destruction of another in the course of a 7 week period in the Mediterranean. For this he was awarded the Ritterkreuz.
On 25 April 1944, Pollmann received the Eichenlaub #461 for his Ritterkreuz as Oberleutnant zur See der Reserve and Kommandant U-Jäger "UJ 2210" / 22.Unterseebootsjagdflottille. The medal was awarded for his further successes as commander of “UJ-2210”. By the time of his award he had sunk or damaged a total of 14 enemy submarines. It should be noted however that of these only a maximum of 8 could possibly have been sunk by his ship.
