List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (E) facts for kids
The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was the highest military award in Nazi Germany during World War II. It was given for many reasons, from a senior commander showing great leadership in battle to a low-ranking soldier performing a single act of extreme bravery.
About 7,321 of these awards were given out between September 30, 1939, and June 17, 1945. This award went to members of the German military branches: the Army (Heer), Navy (Kriegsmarine), and Air Force (Luftwaffe). It was also given to members of the Waffen-SS, the Reichsarbeitsdienst (Reich Labour Service), and the Volkssturm (a German national militia). Additionally, 43 awards went to soldiers from countries allied with Germany.
These recipients are listed in a book by Walther-Peer Fellgiebel, called The Bearers of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross 1939–1945. Some of the listings in the book have been questioned, especially those from 1945, because the war was ending and some award nominations were not fully completed.
This article lists 188 recipients whose last name starts with "E". The rank shown is what they held when they received the Knight's Cross.
About the Award
The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross had different levels, or "grades," that could be awarded for even greater bravery or leadership.
- The first level was the Iron Cross, followed by the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross itself.
- As the war continued, a higher level was created: the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves. This was for those who had already received the Knight's Cross and continued to show outstanding service.
- Later, two even higher levels were added: the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds.
- The highest version, the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds, was created near the end of the war in 1944.
Who Received the Awards
The German military kept separate lists for the Knight's Cross awards for each branch: the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Waffen-SS. Each person received a unique number on these lists. The same system was used for the higher levels of the Knight's Cross.
Of the 188 awards given to servicemen whose last name starts with "E":
- 22 also received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves.
- 2 also received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords.
- 11 awards were given after the person had died (posthumously).

- This along with the * (asterisk) means the Knight's Cross was awarded after the person had died (posthumously).
- This along with the ? (question mark) means that author Veit Scherzer has questioned if the award was officially correct.
