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

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 been nominated for the award in 1945, when the deteriorating situation of Germany during the final days of World War II left a number of nominations incomplete and pending in various stages of the approval process.[4]

Listed here are the 446 Knight's Cross recipients of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS whose last name starts with "W".[5] Scherzer has challenged the validity of 11 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

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 for the 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 446 awards made to servicemen whose last name starts with "W", 46 were later awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and 11 the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords; 41 presentations were made posthumously. Heer members received 307 of the medals; 22 went to the Kriegsmarine, 92 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 author Veit Scherzer has expressed doubt regarding the veracity and formal correctness of the listing.

Notes

  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. ^ According to Scherzer as pilot in the 8./Jagdgeschwader 52.[13]
  4. ^ The Knight's Cross presentation to Otto Wagener was unlawfully made by the Dönitz Government after 8 May 1945. This can be verified by documented radio communication dated on 21 May 1945. The presentation date was backdated by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel.[16]
  5. ^ According to Scherzer as Staffelkapitän of the Aufklärungsstaffel 3.(F)/122.[13]
  6. ^ According to Scherzer as leader of the I./Grenadier-Regiment 431.[18]
  7. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment "Germania".[18]
  8. ^ According to Scherzer as pilot in the 10./Jagdgeschwader 51 "Mölders".[19]
  9. ^ According to Scherzer on 27 August 1943.[19]
  10. ^ According to Scherzer as Leutnant of the Reserves.[19]
  11. ^ According to Scherzer as adjutant in SS-Panzergreadier-Regiment 38 and leader of a Kampfgruppe.[19]
  12. ^ According to Scherzer as Staffelkapitän of the 6./Kampfgeschwader 6.[19]
  13. ^ According to Scherzer as Oberstleutnant.[22]
  14. ^ According to Scherzer as Oberleutnant of the Reserves.[22]
  15. ^ According to Scherzer as commander of the I./SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 25.[22]
  16. ^ According to Scherzer as chief of Panzerspäh-Kompanie 700/Panzer-Verband 700.[22]
  17. ^ Gustav Walle's nomination by the troop, OB Nordwest, was received by Heerespersonalamt-Außenstelle (HPA/A—Branch of the Army Staff Office) as teleprinter message on 2 May 1945 at 17:00, indicating that he had destroyed nine enemy tanks with a Panzerfaust. A Heerespersonalamt-Außenstelle-Verleihungsvorschlag (HPA/A-VV—Branch of the Army Staff Office Nomination Recommendation) was not created. The person in charge, Hauptmann Goerske, noted on the teleprinter message: "to be processed". The process was not completed before the end of hostilities and he indicated "for the archives". No further evidence can be found that the process was completed. The Federal Ministry of Defence stated in a letter to the German Federal Archives from 1963 that they hold no record of the presentation. Major Walle was struck from a list, which very likely was created by the IIa (divisional adjutant for personnel matters of the officers) of OB Nordwest for nominated Knight's Crosses, indicating that the Knight's Cross may have been presented. A legitimate presentation is thus possible, but also not verifiable. According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. The presentation date was assigned by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel.[23]
  18. ^ a b The brackets around the professor and doctor title [Prof. Dr.] denotes that the academic title was attained after the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded.
  19. ^ According to Scherzer on 23 December 1942.[22]
  20. ^ According to Scherzer as Zugführer (platoon leader) in the 5./Grenadier-Regiment (motorized) 29.[22]
  21. ^ Helmut Walter's nomination by the troop, most likely a teleprinter message, does not exist anymore. A Heerespersonalamt-Verleihungsvorschlag (HPA-VV—Army Staff Office Nomination Recommendation) was not created nor a file card. Major Joachim Domaschk listed him in the 1st section of the book "Verliehene Ritterkreuze" (Awarded Knight Crosses) with an entry number Nr. 5100. This number was assigned twice since the 2nd section of the book also begins with Nr. 5100. Why Major Domaschk entered him this way is unknown. The entry reveals that a nomination by the troop was received by the HPA on 9 May 1945, and further processed the same day (Scherzer assumes to General Ernst Maisel) and presented. The presentation had been communicated to the OB West. The file card in the German Archive was created in the 1960s by the Federal Ministry of Defence based on the entry in the book "Verliehene Ritterkreuze". The presentation was unlawful, first because it was made after 8 May 1945, secondly neither General Maisel nor Major Domaschk were authorized at this time.[24]

  116. ^ Dietrich Kirn was a cover name used while serving in the Abwehr (military intelligence). His real name is Dietrich Witzel.

  117. ^ Generalfeldmarschall Erwin von Witzleben, in connection with the 20 July plot, the failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, was deprived of all honors, ranks and orders and dishonourably discharged from the Heer on 4 August 1944.

  118. ^ No evidence of the award can be found in the German Federal Archives. There is also no evidence in the files of the Order Commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR). Edmund Woehl's presentation is also not mentioned in the contemporary printed press such as the Völkischer Beobachter or the Flensburger Nachrichten. It remains unclear on what grounds the AKCR has listed Woehl. Listed as Eduard Wöhl who received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 30 April 1945 as Major and leader of Panzergrenadier-Regiment 51 by Gerhard von Seemen. Von Seemen states that this was a presentation in the "greater combat area of Berlin".[87] Therefore a legal presentation via the command chain (LVI Panzer Korps – Combat commander of Berlin (General Helmuth Weidling) – Chief of the Heerespersonalamt (HPA—Branch of the Army Staff Office) Wilhelm Burgdorf – Adolf Hitler) is possible. Also possible is a direct presentation by Hitler. However, none of this can be verified.[74]

Three copies for further processing were retained by the HPA but were left unfinished by the end of the war. Missing is the confirmation of the Commander-in-Chief of the 9.
