The Iron Cross in all its forms and further developments is one of the best known military awards for outstanding bravery worldwide. This is especially true for the Knight's Cross of the Second World War. Based on years of painstaking research, this documentation aims 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.
Submarine warfare has been a recurring topic of discussion since the First World War. The battle with the enemy and at the same time with the forces of nature led to a close, human bond that could be taken literally. The fact that not only submarine commanders were awarded the Knight's Cross proves how much the entire crew of a boat mattered. Naval warfare has always been practised comradeship.
In this volume 49 Knight's Cross holders of the U-boat weapon are treated. U.a. Peter Erich Cremer, Karl Dönitz, Werner Hartenstein, Werner Hartmann u.v.a. With a foreword by Bernd Gericke.
