List of bearers of oak leaves for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross
The following overview contains all 863 (including the eight foreign as well as the withdrawal of No. 157) mentioned in the literature bearers of the oak leaves for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross . The minimum requirement for being awarded the oak leaves was the previous award of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Skipping the steps was not permitted. In the course of the awarding of the oak leaves, the knight's cross was therefore not awarded again, but instead only the oak leaves and a new collar in a box and a second piece of the oak leaves for front use. The rank at the time of the award is given in the rank column.

1945
In 1945, five years after the foundation of the oak leaves, the oak leaves were awarded 168 times during the last months of the war to members of the army, the air force, the navy and the Waffen SS. The last official award took place on May 5, 1945. Overall, the Oak Leaves for the Knight's Cross was awarded a total of 863 times within the associations of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS from 1940 to 1945 , whereby the consecutive numbering ended with 843. The falling numbers of awards to members of the Luftwaffe, which fell into Hitler's disgrace in 1945, as well as the enormous increase in awards to members of the army are striking.

Awards not legitimately given or declined
A total of 39 people are affected by the falsification of the history of the "Order of the Knight's Cross" (OdR) . Of these, 13 real oak leaf bearers (here marked in yellow ) have been given a freely invented award number. 26 people (14 army, 2 air force, 1 navy and 9 Waffen-SS) were declared as false oak leaf bearers. Alleged awards after May 9, 1945 are not included in this list, as they are undoubtedly ineffective due to the unconditional surrender of May 8, 1945.

---|---|---|---|---|---|

Submitted by the division, endorsed by the KG of the IV SS Corps (Gille). The statement of the 6th Army and the HGr is missing. South. No processing or awarding notes on the troops' VV. The Reichsführer SS's statement has only been prepared; the date and signature are missing. The existing index card is not contemporary. On the back of this is written: "Site of discovery: Pending proposals and drafts for oak leaves". In the hs. The list of suggestions for higher levels of the RK to the EK is only entered under the serial number 693 "Hack", as a grade only "SS". Nothing else. There is also no mention of an award in the press. According to Fellgiebel, the award was made “according to his own statement at the end of April 1945 by SS-Obergruppenf. u.

AK Gen. d. Art. Duke in Courland. B. did not specify a date. Allegedly there are photos that show him with the oak leaves. The OdR accepts a direct award from Berlin. The award date is also an acceptance of the OdR. Awarding the oak leaves four to five weeks after the knight's cross would be extremely unusual.

From the perspective of the OdR, the award was made via the “Dönitz order”. According to an expert opinion by WASt, this “order” is not legally effective. The award date is an acceptance by the OdR. L. was a member of the OdR. |

866. | Adalbert von Blanc | Frigate captain | Navy | May 7, 1945 | The award of the oak leaves is not recorded in the marine personnel records.

The cover letter has survived and is printed by Thomas. Nothing else has become known about this. There is no evidence of an award. The order commission of the OdR dealt with the case in 1974 and decided: “868. EL 8.5.45. “The award was made from the perspective of the OdR via the“ Dönitz order ”. According to an expert opinion by WASt, this “order” is not legally effective. The award number "868" was awarded by the OdR. The award date is also an acceptance of the OdR. G. is listed on the collection list of OB Northwest for "Proposals for the award of war awards" from May 1945. This list, which was to serve as a template for Dönitz, contains 12 names of the troops already submitted by OB Nordwest via official channels, i.e. pending VV of the troops. Doenitz never signed this list, probably not even seen it. G. was an OdR member . |
