The full name of this "Hans Boetticher" (i.e. Hans von Boetticher) seems to have been:

*30. August 1886. I have seen (18, 30) for birth date since he was born in Saint Petersburg the 30 is an old style calendar date.
 
E.g. here 18. November 1886 (Julian calendar) which would be 30. August 1886 (Gregorian calendar). So I think 18.th is the old style. Or may I miss something?
