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

{{Short description|None}} {{Use dmy dates|date=May 2014}} {{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 386 Knight's Cross recipients of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS whose last name starts with "L".{{sfn|Fellgiebel|2000|pp=282–299}} Scherzer has challenged the validity of sixteen of these listings.{{sfn|Scherzer|2007|pp=151–157}} 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, {{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.

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 386 awards made to servicemen whose last name starts with "L", 38 were later awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, six the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords and two the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds; 37 presentations were made posthumously. Heer members received 256 of the medals; 19 went to the Kriegsmarine, 90 to the Luftwaffe, and 21 to the Waffen-SS.{{sfn|Fellgiebel|2000|pp=282–299}} The sequential numbers greater than 843 for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and 143 for the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords are unofficial and were assigned by the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) and are therefore denoted in parentheses.{{sfn|Fellgiebel|2000|pp=49–51, 102–111}}

Fellgiebel provides his sources as Hermann Buch, the former IIa (personnel administration) of the 2. SS-Division "Das Reich", and Wilhelm Kment, the adjutant of Heinrich Himmler and liaison officer to the ''Heerespersonalamt'' (HPA—Army Staff Office). Buch had nothing to do with this presentation (note from 25 June 2004). The 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking was not under the command of Dietrich in the respective timeframe. Krätschmer provides a presentation date of 25 March 1945 while von Seemen provides 25 April 1945.{{sfn|Von Seemen|1976|p=222}} Fellgiebel has changed this to 6 May 1945.

Four of these nominations were submitted via teleprinter message, these were Friedrich Anding, Heinz Lotze, (Johann-)Nepomuk Stützle and Gustav Walle, and Friedrich Lier's nomination for the Oak Leaves via messenger. The reason for why not all five nominations had been submitted via teleprinter message is that Anding had destroyed six or more enemy tanks in close combat. The prerequisites of ''Führeranordnung'' (Führer decree) of 7 March 1945 had therefore been met and no further explanation or details were needed. Scherzer assumes that this must have been different in Lier's case and more details describing his actions including drawings had been created. This type of nomination was difficult to submit via teleprinter message and a messenger was sent. This nomination was never received by the ''Heerespersonalamt'' (HPA—Army Staff Office). Lier is not listed on the list of awarded Knight's Crosses, which in some cases was also used as a nomination entry list, the four nominations are listed. Also missing is the original nomination, the teleprinter messages on the other hand have prevailed. A nomination, which was never received, cannot be judged. A presentation cannot be proven. The Order Commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) processed this case in 1975 on behalf of a relative of Lier and decided: 869th Oak Leaves yes, 8 May 1945. The sequential number and date were assigned by the AKCR. Lier was a member of the AKCR.

Also probable is a direct presentation from Adolf Hitler. However, no evidence of the award can be found in the German Federal Archives. Veit Scherzer was denied access to files, which could help clarify the case, of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) on the grounds of the ''Bundesarchivgesetz'' (German Archive Law). The order commission of the AKCR handled this case in 1973. In the 1980s Lobmeyer also claimed and requested to have received the German Cross in Gold as well as the Oak Leaves to the Knight's Cross. Walther-Peer Fellgiebel stated in a letter dated 17 December 1987: "Lobmeyer had never received the German Cross nor the Oak Leaves. He is already very well off that we list him under article 8 [a footnote in Fellgiebel's book] and keep things quiet, that he may have received the Knight's Cross in the timeframe 20 April to 30 April 1945." In the same letter he refers to Lobmeyer as ''Spinner'' (a wacko or crank). Ernst-Günther Krätschmer lists him with an approval date of 20 April 1945 and a presentation date of 28 April 1945. Gerhard von Seemen noted: "Presentation was made after the radio message receipt from commanding general SS-Obergruppenführer Friedrich Jeckeln of the V. SS Mountain Corps."{{sfn|Von Seemen|1976|p=226}} SS-Obersturmführer Lobmeyer had been nominated for the Honor Roll in March by the Heeresgruppe Mitte.

The HPA created a formal nomination without a sequential number on 27 March 1945. Both nominations are retained in the National Archives. Both nominations give no information whether the nomination was approved and whether the Oak Leaves had been awarded. The nomination list of the higher grade of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves only dates the nomination entry on 25 March 1945. The Order Commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) processed this case in 1974 and decided: yes, 872nd Oak Leaves. According to the AKCR the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification.
