List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (C)

{{Short description|none}} {{featured list}} {{Use dmy dates|date=July 2021}} {{Knight's Cross recipients}} The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross ({{langx|de|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 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.{{sfn|Williamson|Bujeiro|2004|pp=3–4}} A total of 7,321 awards were made between its first presentation on 30 September 1939 and its last bestowal on 17 June 1945.{{refn|''Großadmiral'' and President of Germany Karl Dönitz, Hitler's successor as Head of State (''Staatsoberhaupt'') and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, had ordered the cessation of all promotions and awards as of 11 May 1945 (Dönitz-decree). Consequently the last Knight's Cross awarded to ''Oberleutnant zur See'' of the Reserves Georg-Wolfgang Feller on 17 June 1945 must therefore be considered a ''de facto'' but not ''de jure'' hand-out.{{sfn|Fellgiebel|2000|p=4}}|group="Note"}} 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.{{sfn|Fellgiebel|2000|pp=113–460, 483, 485–487, 492, 494, 498–499, 501, 503, 509}}

These recipients are listed in the 1986 edition of Walther-Peer Fellgiebel's book, {{lang|de|Die Träger des Ritterkreuzes des Eisernen Kreuzes 1939–1945}} — ''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.{{sfn|Scherzer|2007|pp=117–186}}

Listed here are the 82 Knight's Cross recipients of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS whose last name starts with "C".{{sfn|Fellgiebel|2000|pp=152–156, 488}} The recipients are initially 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, {{lang|de|Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 1573}} of 1 September 1939 instituted the Iron Cross ({{lang|de|Eisernes Kreuz}}), the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross ({{lang|de|Großkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes}}). Article 2 of the enactment mandated that the award of a higher class be preceded by the award of all preceding classes.<ref name="RGBl.

The Oak Leaves, as they were commonly referred to, were based on the enactment {{lang|de|Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 849}} of 3 June 1940.<ref name="RGBl.

The enactment {{lang|de|Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 613}} of 28 September 1941 introduced the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords ({{lang|de|Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern}}) and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds ({{lang|de|Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub, Schwertern und Brillanten}}).<ref name="RGBl.

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.{{sfn|Fellgiebel|2000|p=112}} Of the 82 awards made to servicemen whose last name starts with "C", ten were later awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and five presentations were made posthumously. Heer members received 51 of the medals, five went to the Kriegsmarine, 22 to the Luftwaffe, and four to the Waffen-SS.{{sfn|Fellgiebel|2000|pp=152–156, 488}}
