The Chicago Herald Times had no clue, and said he was a German-born World War I hero with a background in auto design.
They may have information that was never added to the internet, because, in the October 1928 issue of Popular Aviation, page 94, is this paragraph that says he was in the German Army in WW1
If this is correct, and not speculative, one of Brennemann's paintings was in the Smithsonian museum
Otto was one of the New Deal WPA mural painters http://wpamurals.org/illartists.html in Illinois, possibly in the Elmhurst University, at 135 Prospect St. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Public_Works_of_Art_Project/MGVE0dyFq9MC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Otto+Brennemann&pg=PA68&printsec=frontcover
A couple of his posters were in the Indiana State Library exhibit https://blog.library.in.gov/fall-winter-along-the-south-shore-line-on-display-at-indiana-state-library
Always check Ebay, you never can tell what you might find, even spelled incorrectly. Here he illustrated a Rand McNally book in 1936
why post his other art here, and his family tree? This guy was gifted, seriously talented, and I can't believe that I've now put more of his work together in one place than any other website
He may be the same Otto Brennemann that was indicted for sedition during World War II, but did not stand trial.
Brennemann was a cartoon artist and developed a series of cartoons critical of President Roosevelt’s foreign policy prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor which led to his indictment.
The cartoons were titled “History Repeats”, “The Answer to the Betrayal,” and “ America on the March.”
Being anti administration was offense enough, and the courts were so corrupt (see Trial of Chicago 7, re 1968 riots) but realizing the prosecutor had no real evidence to prove sedition, Judge Laws declared a mistrial on December 7, 1944.
