Awards and decorations

German Cross in Gold on 2 May 1944 as Oberst in Artillerie-Regiment 248
Nominated for Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The nomination by the troop was received by the Heerespersonalamt on 28 April 1945. Major Joachim Domaschk the nomination on 6 May 1945. The book "Verliehene Ritterkreuze" contains a note "postponed". The reason for this was that his division together with Heeresgruppe B had been annihilated in the Ruhr Pocket, the whereabouts of its commanding officer was unknown. The nomination was therefore not processed in accordance with AHA 44 Ziff. 572. A presentation was never made. The presentation date was assigned by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel.
