Where can I find the original information, I tried search, but it didn't work. Thanks! So at least he got EK II and I and the HOH3X? I read somewhere, he was Hindenburg's Adjutant? Do you have his last rank?

Thank you, webr55! Sadly, nothing in the book about rank or decorations. Wounded three times, therefore surely Verwundetenabzeichen in Mattweiß. Sorry, but I didn't quite understand, to what question your "yes" was directed to. To the HOH? To him being Adjutant? Would you please confirm if he received HOH3X? Maybe a ca. date? Thanks!

His HHOX was gazetted on 28.5.18 in the Staatsanzeiger, 20.6.18 in the Militär-Wochenblatt. So he must have had both EKs as well. 

He was a Leutnant in the Garde-Grenadier-Regiment 5.
