Bio`s Required on Two EK with Oakleaves Recipients

[Brian]

I would appreciate bios on the following:

Bruno Hinz, SS OstFuhrer 1./SS PzGren Rg 38

Hubert Mickley, Hauptmann Kommander I./GrenReg4

Hinz recieved his Oakleaves on 23-08-44 and Mickley on 04-08-44.

Incidentally does anyone know if Mickley had British heritage considering his name?

Hi Brian,

I don´t know if this information would be interesting for you, but here it is:

Hauptsturmführer BRUNO HINZ

Eichenlaub (#559) on 23.08.1944 as Obersturmführer and Chef 2./SS-PzGrenRgt 38 "Götz von Berlichingen" u. Fhr. eine


Oberstleutnant HUBERT MICKLEY

died on 30.12.1944 (no mention about the place, probably KIA)

Besides that, there is one more MICKLEY who won the Knight´s Cross:

Unfortunately, I have no information about their heritage.
