Hans Bartels (5 July 1910 – 31 July 1945) was a Korvettenkapitan with the Kriegsmarine during World War II and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. He was transferred to command the Kleinkampfverbande (small combat units) and after a training course was appointed leader of the Kleinkampf-Flottille 261 (261st Biber flotilla), operating the midget submarine Biber, in August 1944. After the war ended Bartels was retained in British custody and was assigned to a Minenraumkommando (German Mine Sweeping Administration), where he was killed in an accident near Rendsburg on 31 July 1945.
