Hello friends,

I'm looking for Bundeswehr era photos of Hauptmann Hübner, particularly photos showing his BW miniature medal bar.

Thanks in advance for your help!

best regards

Mike, you make me very inquisitively.
If he was no DK or RK holder it is imo only luck to find a picture.

Was he a FJ?

Found something here.

Hi guys,

He was an FJ and was a DK and RK Träger.

I found that same website Matthias. I'm looking specifically for a BS era photo of his mini-medal bar.

Tom, he was in the BW from '57 to '68 and his ultimate rank was Major.

Thanks for your interest and help!

Mike,

I looked in the book that lists RKTs who served in the BW and the picture shown is of him in his Luftwaffe uniform. Chances of finding him wearing his miniatures, as you undoubtedly know, is remote at best. Good luck in your hunt.

Regards,

Gordon

Hi Gordon.

Thank you for looking! I appreciate it!

Yes, I agree that it's is a task that will likely end without a solution.

Tomorrow, I will show you why I was trying to find a picture of his bar.

I think you'll enjoy it.

Hi friends,

Well, it wasn't Hübner after all. Hübner had the exact same awards except for two. Hübner was an FJ RKT and also had an NKS in Bronze.

The man and some of his history including his BW mini medal bar can be seen here...
