Career
World War I
During the First World War, Hagen served as an officer in the German Army's, Feldflieger Abteilung. He held positions such as Bildoffizier (photo reconnaissance officer) in the Feldflieger-Abteilung 12 and later became the leader of the Feldflieger-Abteilung 7 and Feldflieger-Abteilung 57. His service extended to being the Gruppenführer der Flieger 3 and Gruppenführer der Flieger 1. For his contributions during the war, he received honors including both classes of the Iron Cross, the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern with Swords, and other decorations.
Interwar Period and World War II
After World War I, Hagen transitioned to the Reichswehr.[note 1] He held various positions, including serving in the Abteilung Fremde Heere and later as the commander of the Truppenübungsplatz Neuhammer. In 1935, he joined the Wehrmacht and continued his military career. When the Second World War began, he commanded the Infantry Regiment 376 and tragically lost his life as a colonel on the Western Front near Ossendrecht, Netherlands on May 17, 1940.
Hagen was posthumously promoted to the rank of Generalmajor.[2]
