Max Viebeg

[Igor Starikow]

Dear forum members!

I am looking for some information about Kapitanleutnant/Korvettenkapitan and Pour-le-Merite-Trager Max Viebeg (6 April 1887 - 9 November 1961).

Where he was born and died?

Does anyone have a complete list of his awards and decorations?

Any info about his assignments and promotions will be very useful.

Thanks

Igor

Hello!

Many thanks for your answers, Rick Research!

They are a great help.

I`m sorry but I have two other questions.

Where Max Viebeg was born and died?

As I know last his Rank was Korvettenkapitan. When Viebeg was promoted to this Rank?

Thanks.

I do not know the places where he was born and died-- maybe that is in a book on Pour le Merite holders.

If he was a Korvettenkapit?n he must have been promoted to that rank during WW2. He was not listed in the 1960 MOHeV address directory, so the last rank status I have for him was in May 1939 when he was still a KaptLt zS aD.
