    Kupschus was born on 16.7.1900 in Kiel. He was living as an Oberst a.D. in Lübeck in 1965; that's the last I have on him except that he was still alive as of the 1969 edition of Gotha. Below is the signature from his 1934 marriage certificate.

     

    The first witness signature was: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Joachim_von_Kruedener

     

    The other, Wilhelm Meyer, was a Zahnarzt. I have no idea if he had a military service relationship and the name is way too common.

    I wonder what will happen if I post the reply again, since the content editor still treats it as not yet posted.
