Description
The Iron Cross in all its forms and further developments is one of the world's best-known military awards for outstanding bravery. This is especially true of the Knight's Cross of the Second World War. Based on years of painstaking research, this documentation strives to show the military life of each individual bearer of this award and, using the various source material, to explain the reasons for the award.
The shells of the 8.8 cm flak became the terror of enemy tanks and had a calming effect on the soldier in the front line when he knew of the proximity of such a gun. The cry "Flak to the front!" from the mouths of the grenadiers could be heard wherever "something was going on". The Luftwaffe anti-aircraft gunner, who the infantrymen liked to call a "tie soldier", thus had the opportunity to prove himself. And he did. It was not without reason that 168 soldiers of the Luftwaffe Flak were awarded the Knight's Cross.
This volume deals with 101 Knight's Cross holders of the anti-aircraft troops.
With a foreword by Sepp Prentl
