Hauptmann Hans Graf (1889-????), HOH3⚔, help needed

[Deutschritter]

Hans Graf received the Charakter als Hauptmann (after serving with the Freikorps/Grenzschutz Ost?), and was apparently reactivated for WWII. Fahnenjunker (????), 19.7.1913 Fähnrich (before that Unteroffizier), 23.12.1912 Leutnant (Patent; joined 1912 or earlier?) in the 2. Badisches Grenadier-Regiment „Kaiser Wilhelm I.“ Nr. 110, 20.5.1917 Oberleutnant. Wöschler (https://woeschler-orden.de/katalog/archiv/baden-nachlass-des-oberleutnants-hans-graf-mit-ritterkreuz-des-militaerischen-karl) has these decorations: 

 

Iron Cross (1914), 2nd and 1st Class

Baden Order of the Zähringer Lion (Orden vom Zähringer Löwen), Knight's Cross II. Class with Swords (BZL3b⚔/BZ3b⚔) on 19 August 1915

Military Karl-Friedrich Merit Order, Knight's Cross (BV3) on 3 May 1918

Prussian Royal House Order of Hohenzollern, Knight's Cross with Swords (HOH3⚔) on 23 June 1918

Wound Badge (Verwundetenabzeichen 1918) in Mattweiß (Silver)

 

Can anyone help with correct birth and death date? Wehrmacht service info? Last rank? Kriegsverdienstkreuz (1939), II. Class with Swords (thanks to Daniel Krause). If you have anything at all, please let me know. Thanks!!!

Hi. It's not much of an addition, but I can add a picture of his ribbon bars, iron cross and Feldpost box which are in my collection. Can't remember when and where I got these. The box says Herrn Hans Graf, Hauptmann z.v. and bears a stamp from a 1920 series of stamps. Oh and thanks for posting the information, I had almost no information on him. Best, Peter

Thanks for the great picture, Peter! So he at least made Hauptmann z. V. of the Wehrmacht (maybe even Major?), and now I finally see the KVK2⚔, which Daniel Krause told me about. Thanks again!
