Pronunciation Please - OHLAU

Ohlau in Schlesien

Could someone please describe the two syllables of "Ohlau" using English
spellings please? Is the "Oh" said like the English 'Oh' (I've lost my
hat) or spoken as, 'Oy' (come back with my hat) ! Also is the 'au'
pronounced "ow", that hurt! Who can do better ?

I've visited the site Klaus, unfortunately I spent most of the time copying
and pasting into the German/English translator - unfortunately I couldn't
copy the buttons that 'click' !!

You are absolutely right if you pronounce OHLAU the way you described.
