Bender is listed in the 1938 Rankliste as being promoted to Oberfähnrich zur See on October 1, 1938. The 1940 Rangliste, however, lists Bender as a Leutnant zur See as of that date, with an a supplemental seniority number, suggesting he was became a Leutnant zur See soon after October 1, 1938 but his promotion was backdated for seniority purposes.
