Footnote:

Prince Hubertus of Prussia was born on September 30, 1909, a grandson of Emperor Wilhelm II. He joined the Wehrmacht in 1934 as part of Infantry Regiment 8. Hubertus saw action during the Polish campaign in the 3rd Infantry Division. However, when his older brother Wilhelm was killed in action in 1940, and over 50,000 people attended his funeral, A.H. was afraid that the monarchy could be brought back by popular demand through royal martyrs. Therefore, he forbid members of former royal families to fight at the front line. Since Hubertus had some experience as a pilot, he was placed in the Luftwaffe. In 1943, A.H. decreed that all men from former royal families were to end their service in the Wehrmacht. After the war, Hubertus lost his estates, since the land was taken over by Poland. He emigrated to Southwest Africa (present-day Namibia) where he tried to build a new life, yet died on April 8, 1950 as a result of an appendectomy.
