Hugo Gutmann was the famous jewish officer who gave a medal to Hitler during WWI.
At the end of 1938 he and his family fled to Belgium and in 1940 via France to Portugal . On May 14, 1940 they emigrated with the last train via Lisbon (August 28, 1940) on the Excalibur to the USA, [10] where he settled in St. Louis (605 Clara Avenue) and renamed himself Henry G. Grant [11] and worked for the Underwood Elliott Fisher typewriter factory. [12]

Here he told his passage from Belgium to Portugal : https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/nuremberg2/nur009.html
He told about the power of the dollar :
Who gave him these dollars ?We had very influential American help, too. Without the dollars which I took with me when I left Brussels we would not have reached France and would have fallen into the Nazis' hands. Without dollars one couldn't get any stamp in his passport.
He then settled in USA.

Did anyone know if he was buried under the name of Hugo Gutman or Henry G. Grant in San Diego ?
If anybody from SD could check there, would be nice
Thanks
