List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (D)

April 10, 2024

The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (German: Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes) and its variants were the highest awards in the military and paramilitary forces of Nazi Germany during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded for a wide range of reasons and across all ranks, from a senior commander for skilled leadership of his troops in battle to a low-ranking soldier for a single act of extreme gallantry.[1] A total of 7,321 awards were made between its first presentation on 30 September 1939 and its last bestowal on 17 June 1945.[Note 1] This number is based on the analysis and acceptance of the order commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR). Presentations were made to members of the three military branches of the Wehrmacht—the Heer (Army), Kriegsmarine (Navy) and Luftwaffe (Air Force)—as well as the Waffen-SS, the Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD—Reich Labour Service) and the Volkssturm (German national militia). There were also 43 recipients in the military forces of allies of the Third Reich.[3]

These recipients are listed in the 1986 edition of Walther-Peer Fellgiebel's book, Die Träger des Ritterkreuzes des Eisernen Kreuzes 1939–1945 — The Bearers of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross 1939–1945. Fellgiebel was the former chairman and head of the order commission of the AKCR. In 1996, the second edition of this book was published with an addendum delisting 11 of these original recipients. Author Veit Scherzer has cast doubt on a further 193 of these listings. The majority of the disputed recipients had received the award in 1945, when the deteriorating situation of Germany in the final days of World War II in Europe left a number of nominations incomplete and pending in various stages of the approval process.[4]

Listed here are the 238 Knight's Cross recipients whose last name starts with "D".[5] Scherzer has challenged the validity of six of these listings.[6] The recipients are initially ordered alphabetically by last name. The rank listed is the recipient's rank at the time the Knight's Cross was awarded.

Background edit

The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grades were based on four separate enactments. The first enactment, Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 1573 of 1 September 1939 instituted the Iron Cross (Eisernes Kreuz), the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross (Großkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes). Article 2 of the enactment mandated that the award of a higher class be preceded by the award of all preceding classes.[7] As the war progressed, some of the recipients of the Knight's Cross distinguished themselves further and a higher grade, the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub), was instituted. The Oak Leaves, as they were commonly referred to, were based on the enactment Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 849 of 3 June 1940.[8] In 1941, two higher grades of the Knight's Cross were instituted. The enactment Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 613 of 28 September 1941 introduced the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern) and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub, Schwertern und Brillanten).[9] At the end of 1944 the final grade, the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit goldenem Eichenlaub, Schwertern und Brillanten), based on the enactment Reichsgesetzblatt 1945 I S. 11 of 29 December 1944, became the final variant of the Knight's Cross authorized.[10]

The Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (Supreme Command of the Armed Forces) kept separate Knight's Cross lists, one for each of the three military branches, Heer (Army), Kriegsmarine (Navy), Luftwaffe (Air Force) and Waffen-SS. Within each of these lists a unique sequential number was assigned to each recipient. The same numbering paradigm was applied to the higher grades of the Knight's Cross, one list per grade.[11] Of the 238 awards made to servicemen whose last name starts with "D", 20 were later awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, six the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords and one, Josef Dietrich, the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds; 24 presentations were made posthumously. One hundred and forty-nine Heer members received the medal, seven went to the Kriegsmarine, 57 to the Luftwaffe, and 25 to the Waffen-SS.[5] The sequential numbers greater than 843 for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and 143 for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords are unofficial and were assigned by the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) and are therefore denoted in parentheses.[12]

  This along with the + (plus) indicates that a higher grade of Knight's Cross was awarded as well.
  This along with the * (asterisk) indicates that the Knight's Cross was awarded posthumously.
  This along with the ? (question mark) indicates that historian Veit Scherzer has expressed doubt regarding the veracity and formal correctness of the listing.

Notes edit

  1. ^ Großadmiral and President of Germany Karl Dönitz, Hitler's successor as Head of State (Staatsoberhaupt) and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, had ordered the cessation of all promotions and awards as of 11 May 1945 (Dönitz-decree). Consequently the last Knight's Cross awarded to Oberleutnant zur See of the Reserves Georg-Wolfgang Feller on 17 June 1945 must therefore be considered a de facto but not de jure hand-out.[2]
  2. ^ For an explanation of the various naming schemes used by the Luftwaffe, Heer, Kriegsmarine and Waffen-SS refer to nomenclature used by the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.
  3. ^ a b According to Scherzer on 8 April 1944 as Staffelkapitän of the 2./Jagdgeschwader 52.[13]
  4. ^ a b According to Scherzer on 30 July 1941 as pilot in the I./Jagdgeschwader 77.[13]
  5. ^ According to Scherzer as adjutant in SS-Kavallerie-Regiment 53.[16]
  6. ^ According to Scherzer as pilot in the 7./Jagdgeschwader 52.[16]
  7. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the I./SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 25.[16]
  8. ^ According to Scherzer as leader of the 10.(Pionier)/Panzergrenadier-Regiment 111.[19]
  9. ^ According to Scherzer as leader of SS-Panzer-Regiment 5.[19]
  10. ^ According to Scherzer as leader of the III./Grenadier-Regiment 418.[19]
  11. ^ According to Scherzer as deputy leader of SS-Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 5.[20]
  12. ^ According to Scherzer as observer in the Aufklärungs-Staffel 11.(H)/12.[20]
  13. ^ The German Federal Archives hold no records for the presentation of the Swords to Karl Decker. The Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) assumes that the presentation fell into the timeframe 20 April 1945 to 29 April 1945. It is assumed that the nomination was approved on 26 April 1945.[22] Scherzer states that the assumption is based on a statement from Decker's widow. She claimed that she had been informed that her husband had received the award. The date and sequential number "149" were assigned by the AKCR.[23]
  14. ^ a b According to Scherzer as SS-Hauptsturmführer of the Reserves and leader of the 5. SS-Freiwilligen-Brigade "Wallonien".[24]
  15. ^ According to Scherzer as deputy leader of SS-Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 3.[24]
  16. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the 1. Flieger-Division.[24]
  17. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the I./SS-"Totenkopf"-Infanterie-Regiment 1.[26]
  18. ^ According to Scherzer as Ia (operations officer)/commander fortress Abschnitt 44 (section 44).[26]
  19. ^ According to Scherzer as leader of Grenadier-Regiment 11.[26]
  20. ^ Major Joachim Domaschk, who processed the nomination at the Heerespersonalamt (HPA—Army Staff Office) from the troop, had sent a message to the AOK Ostpreußen on 28 March 1945 requesting an approval from the Armeekorps and the Armee. This approval was never received before the end of hostilities. Oskar-Hubert Dennhardt is not listed in the book for the "nominations for the higher grades of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross" nor in the nomination book for Knight's Cross (starting with Nr. 5100). According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) the award was present in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. The sequential number "870" and the presentation date were assigned by the AKCR. Dennhardt was a member of the AKCR.[28]
  21. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the Artillerie-Regiments Stab z.b.V. 553.[29]
  22. ^ According to Scherzer as Hauptmann of the Reserves.[29]
  23. ^ No evidence of the award can be found in the German Federal Archives. According to Walther-Peer Fellgiebel the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to Ferdinand Deutsch by Field Marshal Ferdinand Schörner in accordance with the accreditation of 3 May 1945. The author Veit Scherzer was denied access to files, which could help clarify the case, of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) on the grounds of the Bundesarchivgesetz (German Archive Law). Deutsch was a member of the AKCR.[28]
  24. ^ According to Scherzer as leader of the 1./Fallschirm-Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 12.[29]
  25. ^ According to Scherzer on 18 May 1942.[31]
  26. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the I./SS-Regiment (motorized) "Germania".[31]
  27. ^ According to Scherzer as SS-Hauptsturmführer of the Reserves.[31]
  28. ^ According to Scherzer as adjutant in the III./Sturzkampfgeschwader 1.[31]
  29. ^ According to Scherzer as Leutnant of the Reserves.[31]
  30. ^ According to Scherzer as leader of the 2.(Radfahr)/Aufklärungs-Abteilung 45.[31]
  31. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the II./SS-Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 2 "Prinz Eugen".[35]
  32. ^ According to Scherzer as Oberst.[35]
  33. ^ According to Scherzer as group leader in the 14./Divisions-Gruppe 112.[35]
  34. ^ According to Scherzer as Gruppenkommandeur of the I./Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 "Immelmann".[36]
  35. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of SS-Regiment "Dirlewanger".[36]
  36. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the II./Grenadier-Regiment 466.[36]
  37. ^ a b The brackets around the doctor title [Dr.] denotes that the academic title was attained after the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded.
  38. ^ According to Scherzer as pilot in the 1./Jagdgeschwader 54.[39]
  39. ^ According to Scherzer the spelling of his last name is "von Doemming" and not "von Demming". There is no evidence in the German Federal Archives nor in the files of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR). The presentation was made by the former commander of the 26. Panzer-Division Generalleutnant Viktor Linnarz in the prisoner of war camp at Ghedi, in Italy, which makes it an unlawful presentation.[28]
  40. ^ According to Scherzer on 19 June 1940.[39]
  41. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of Flak-Regiment (motorized) 10.[41]
  42. ^ According to Scherzer as Staffelkapitän of the 6.(S)/Lehrgeschwader 2.[41]
  43. ^ a b According to Scherzer as Oberleutnant and Staffelkapitän of the 7./Jagdgeschwader 5.[42]
  44. ^ According to Scherzer as observer in the Aufklärungsstaffel 2.(F)/123.[42]
  45. ^ Kurt Dombacher's nomination by the troop was processed by the Oberkommando der Luftwaffe/Auszeichnung und Disziplin (OKL/AuD—Air Force High Command/Award and Discipline) on 15 April 1945. This nomination, now recommending approval, was forwarded on 16 April with a Luftwaffenpersonalamt-Verleihungsvorschlag (LPA-VV—Air Force Staff Office Nomination Recommendation) Nr. 1576 to the adjutancy of Hermann Göring. The nomination was never finalized and was left unfinished by the end of the war. A presentation of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross cannot be verified. The presentation date of 7 April 1945 as listed by Ernst Obermaier, author of Die Ritterkreuzträger der Luftwaffe Jagdflieger 1939–1945—The Bearers of the Knight's Cross of the Fighter Force 1939–1945, must be incorrect.[44] The presentation date of 8 April 1945 as listed by the Walther-Peer Fellgiebel is an assumption of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients.[28]
  46. ^ According to Scherzer as Major of the Reserves.[42]
  47. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the II.(gepanzert)/Panzergrenadier-Regiment 64.[46]
  48. ^ No evidence of the award can be found in the German Federal Archives. The award was unlawfully presented by SS-Oberstgruppenführer Sepp Dietrich. The date is taken from the announcement made by the 6. SS-Panzerarmee. Draxenberger was a member of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR).[49]
  49. ^ According to Scherzer as Richtschütze (gunner) in the 14./Grenadier-Regiment 552.[51]
  50. ^ No evidence of the award can be found in the German Federal Archives. The award was unlawfully presented by SS-Oberstgruppenführer Sepp Dietrich. The date is taken from the announcement made by the 6. SS-Panzerarmee. Franz Josef Dreike was a member of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR).[49]
  51. ^ According to Scherzer as leader of the III./Nachtjagdgeschwader 1.[51]
  52. ^ According to Scherzer as gun leader of the 14./Grenadier-Regiment 408.[51]
  53. ^ No evidence of the award can be found in the German Federal Archives. Presumably the award was presented by SS-Oberstgruppenführer Sepp Dietrich which would make it an unlawful presentation. The date was assumed by Fellgiebel. Von Seemen also states the 6 May 1945.[54] The author Veit Scherzer was denied access to files, which could help clarify the case, of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) on the grounds of the Bundesarchivgesetz (German Archive Law). Oskar Drexler was a member of the AKCR.[49]
  54. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of SS-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 8.[53]
  55. ^ According to Scherzer as Zugführer (platoon leader) in the Panzer-Jäger-Abteilung 41.[53]
  56. ^ According to Scherzer as Staffelkapitän of the 4.(S)/Lehrgeschwader 2.[56]
  57. ^ According to Scherzer as pilot in the 2./Nahaufklärungs-Gruppe 12.[56]
  58. ^ According to Scherzer as Hauptmann of the Reserves.[58]

The Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross German Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes and its variants were the highest awards in the military and paramilitary forces of Nazi Germany during World War II The Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded for a wide range of reasons and across all ranks from a senior commander for skilled leadership of his troops in battle to a low ranking soldier for a single act of extreme gallantry 1 A total of 7 321 awards were made between its first presentation on 30 September 1939 and its last bestowal on 17 June 1945 Note 1 This number is based on the analysis and acceptance of the order commission of the Association of Knight s Cross Recipients AKCR Presentations were made to members of the three military branches of the Wehrmacht the Heer Army Kriegsmarine Navy and Luftwaffe Air Force as well as the Waffen SS the Reichsarbeitsdienst RAD Reich Labour Service and the Volkssturm German national militia There were also 43 recipients in the military forces of allies of the Third Reich 3 These recipients are listed in the 1986 edition of Walther Peer Fellgiebel s book Die Trager des Ritterkreuzes des Eisernen Kreuzes 1939 1945 The Bearers of the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross 1939 1945 Fellgiebel was the former chairman and head of the order commission of the AKCR In 1996 the second edition of this book was published with an addendum delisting 11 of these original recipients Author Veit Scherzer has cast doubt on a further 193 of these listings The majority of the disputed recipients had received the award in 1945 when the deteriorating situation of Germany in the final days of World War II in Europe left a number of nominations incomplete and pending in various stages of the approval process 4 Listed here are the 238 Knight s Cross recipients whose last name starts with D 5 Scherzer has challenged the validity of six of these listings 6 The recipients are initially ordered alphabetically by last name The rank listed is the recipient s rank at the time the Knight s Cross was awarded Contents 1 Background 2 Recipients 3 Notes 4 References 4 1 Citations 4 2 Bibliography 5 External linksBackground editThe Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grades were based on four separate enactments The first enactment Reichsgesetzblatt I S 1573 of 1 September 1939 instituted the Iron Cross Eisernes Kreuz the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross and the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross Grosskreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes Article 2 of the enactment mandated that the award of a higher class be preceded by the award of all preceding classes 7 As the war progressed some of the recipients of the Knight s Cross distinguished themselves further and a higher grade the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub was instituted The Oak Leaves as they were commonly referred to were based on the enactment Reichsgesetzblatt I S 849 of 3 June 1940 8 In 1941 two higher grades of the Knight s Cross were instituted The enactment Reichsgesetzblatt I S 613 of 28 September 1941 introduced the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern and the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves Swords and Diamonds Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub Schwertern und Brillanten 9 At the end of 1944 the final grade the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves Swords and Diamonds Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit goldenem Eichenlaub Schwertern und Brillanten based on the enactment Reichsgesetzblatt 1945 I S 11 of 29 December 1944 became the final variant of the Knight s Cross authorized 10 Recipients editKnight s Cross of the Iron Cross D

Cross lists one for each of the three military branches Heer Army Kriegsmarine Navy Luftwaffe Air Force and Waffen SS Within each of these lists a unique sequential number was assigned to each recipient The same numbering paradigm was applied to the higher grades of the Knight s Cross one list per grade 11 Of the 238 awards made to servicemen whose last name starts with D 20 were later awarded the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves six the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords and one Josef Dietrich the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves Swords and Diamonds 24 presentations were made posthumously One hundred and forty nine Heer members received the medal seven went to the Kriegsmarine 57 to the Luftwaffe and 25 to the Waffen SS 5 The sequential numbers greater than 843 for the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and 143 for the Knight s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords are unofficial and were
