  • 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 decoration 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. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub) was introduced on 3 June 1940 to further distinguish those who had already received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and who continued to show merit in combat bravery or military success. A total of 7 awards were made in 1940; 50 in 1941; 111 in 1942; 192 in 1943; 328 in 1944, and 194 in 1945, giving a total of 882 recipients—excluding the 8 foreign recipients of the award. The number of 882 Oak Leaves recipients is based on the analysis and acceptance of the order commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR). However, author Veit Scherzer has challenged the validity of 27 of these listings. With the exception of Hermann Fegelein, all of the disputed recipients had received the award in 1945, when the deteriorating situation during the final days of World War II in Germany left a number of nominations incomplete and pending in various stages of the approval process. Fegelein received the Oak Leaves in 1942, but was sentenced to death by Adolf Hitler and executed by SS-Gruppenführer Johann Rattenhuber's Reichssicherheitsdienst (RSD) on 28 April 1945 after a court-martial led by SS-Brigadeführer and Generalmajor of the Waffen-SS Wilhelm Mohnke. The sentence was carried out the same day. The death sentence, according to German law, resulted in the loss of all orders and honorary signs. (en)
  • A Cruz de Cavaleiro da Cruz de Ferro (em alemão: Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes) foi a maior condecoração militar concedida pela Alemanha Nazi durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Era concedida a militares de todas as patentes, deste um soldado até um Marechal de Campo e por diversos motivos que incluíam os atos de bravura de um soldado em batalha, um piloto de caça por ter abatido um número significativo de aeronaves inimigas e o hábil comando das tropas durante a batalha. Os condecorados eram enaltecidos pela propaganda alemã, tendo eles recebido grande atenção por parte da publicidade. Eram vendidos, por exemplo, porta retratos com as fotos dos últimos condecorados. Eles ainda eram convidados a discursar aos trabalhadores das fábricas envolvidas no esforço de guerra. A Cruz de Cavaleiro da Cruz de Ferro com Folhas de Carvalho (Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub) foi introduzida no dia 3 de junho de 1940 para destacar àqueles que já haviam sido condecorados com a Cruz de Cavaleiro e continuaram a demonstrar atos de bravura em combate. Foram entregues sete condecorações no ano de 1940, 50 em 1941, 111 em 1942, 192 em 1943, 328 em 1944 e 194 em 1945, sendo um total de 882 condecorados. Foram ainda condecorados oito estrangeiros, que eram aliados da Alemanha durante a guerra. O número de 882 condecorados com as Folhas de Carvalho é com base na análise feita pela Associação dos Recebedores da Cruz de Cavaleiro da Cruz de Ferro. O autor Veit Scherzer contestou a validade de 27 destas condecorações. Com a exceção da condecoração entregue para Hermann Fegelein, todas as demais condecorações ocorreram no ano de 1945, quando os últimos dias do Terceiro Reich deixaram as nomeações incompletas e diversos estágios da aprovação não foram concluídos. Hermann Fegelein foi condecorado com as Folhas de Carvalho no ano de 1942, mas foi sentenciado a morte por Hitler e executado no dia 28 de abril de 1945 após uma corte marcial liderada pelo SS-Brigadeführer e Generalmajor da Waffen-SS Wilhelm Mohnke. A sentença de morte resultou na perda de todas as suas ordens e honrarias. (pt)
