List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (X–Z)

Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Script error: No such module "Military navigation". The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross (Template:Langx) 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.Template:Sfn A total of 7,321 awards were made between its first presentation on 30 September 1939 and its last bestowal on 17 June 1945.Template:Refn 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.Template:Sfn

These recipients are listed in the 1986 edition of Walther-Peer Fellgiebel's book, Script error: No such module "Lang". — 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.Template:Sfn

Listed here are the 104 Knight's Cross recipients whose last name starts in the range of "X" to "Z".Template:Sfn Veit Scherzer has challenged the validity of 2 of these listings.Template:Sfn The recipients are 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, Script error: No such module "Lang". of 1 September 1939 instituted the Iron Cross (Script error: No such module "Lang".), the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross (Script error: No such module "Lang".). Article 2 of the enactment mandated that the award of a higher class be preceded by the award of all preceding classes.^[1] 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 (Script error: No such module "Lang".), was instituted. The Oak Leaves, as they were commonly referred to, were based on the enactment Script error: No such module "Lang". of 3 June 1940.^[2] In 1941, two higher grades of the Knight's Cross were instituted. The enactment Script error: No such module "Lang". of 28 September 1941 introduced the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds (Script error: No such module "Lang".).^[3] At the end of 1944 the final grade, the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds (Script error: No such module "Lang".), based on the enactment Script error: No such module "Lang". of 29 December 1944, became the final variant of the Knight's Cross authorized.^[4]

Recipients

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.Template:Sfn Of the 104 awards made to servicemen whose last name starts in the range of "X" to "Z", only Wolf-Dietrich Ritter und Edler von Xylander Template:'s last name starts with "X". Of these 104 recipients, eleven were later awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and one the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords; seven presentations were made posthumously. Heer members received seventy-four of the medals, three went to the Kriegsmarine, twenty-three to the Luftwaffe, and four to the Waffen-SS.Template:Sfn The sequential numbers greater than 843 for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves are unofficial and were assigned by the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) and are therefore denoted in parentheses.Template:Sfn
