Prussian general Hans von Kretschmann began his military career in 1863 when he joined Leib-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 8 in Frankfurt an der Oder. Major von Kretschmann saw action during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, serving in the general staff of Constantin von Alvensleben's Third Army Corps. After the war, he was transferred to Posen where he served for five years as General Hugo von Kirchbach's V. Army Corps chief of staff. He went on to command a peace- time infantry division and, in 1896, was awarded by Kaiser Wilhelm II with the Roten Adler Orden I.
