Wilco Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 I've read somewhere that he was a Staffofficer in Danmark during most part of the Second World War and retired in 1945. Don't know any about decorations he received.
Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 Can anyone post his bio from the book "Die Ritter des Ordens "Pour le mérite" by Hildebrand? Thanks!
