[Stijn David]

Hello,

Is there anyone who can give information (units, awards) of the following soldiers?

* LEDERER, Hans-Wolfgang born on Dec. 6, 1894 - died on July 7, 1985. During WWII he certainly rose towards the rank of Oberst (promotion 01/03/1942)

Looking at the birthdate he probably also saw action during WWI.

Cordial greetings and thanks in advacne
