List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (Ba–Bm)

{{Short description|none}} {{Use dmy dates|date=January 2022}} {{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 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.<ref>Williamson & Bujeiro 2004, pp. 3–4.</ref> 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 Nazi Germany.<ref>Fellgiebel 2000, pp. 113–460, 483, 485–487, 492, 494, 498–499, 501, 503, 509.</ref>

There is currently no official German Government list of KC recipients. Analysis and acceptance of the order commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) indicates that up to 7,321 awards may have been 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'' presentation.<ref name="Fellgiebel p4">Fellgiebel 2000, p. 4.</ref>|group="Note"}} 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 a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, and was also the former chairman and head of the order commission of the AKCR. In 1996, a second edition of this book was published with an addendum delisting 11 of the recipients.

In 2007, Veit Scherzer published his {{lang|de|Die Ritterkreuzträger 1939–1945}} [''The Knight's Cross Bearers 1939–1945'']. Scherzer's book was compiled from documents held by the German Federal Archives, and cast doubt on 193 of the listings in Fellgiebel's 1996 book. The majority of the disputed recipients were listed as having received the award in 1945, when the deteriorating situation of the Third Reich during the final days of World War II left a number of nominations incomplete and pending in various stages of the approval process.<ref>Scherzer 2007, pp. 117–186.</ref>

Listed here are the 368 Knight's Cross recipients of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS whose last name is in the range "Ba–Bm".<ref name="Fellgiebel pp119–135,485–486">Fellgiebel 2000, pp. 119–135, 485–486.</ref> Scherzer has challenged the validity of 13 of these listings.<ref>Scherzer 2007, pp. 117–122.</ref> This is the first of two lists of all 725 Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients whose last name starts with "B".

==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.<ref>Fellgiebel 2000, p. 112.</ref> Of the 368 awards made to servicemen whose last name is in the range "Ba–Bm", 31 were later awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, 12 the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords and one the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds; 19 presentations were made posthumously. Heer members received 232 of the medals; 15 went to the Kriegsmarine, 100 to the Luftwaffe, and 21 to the Waffen-SS.<ref name="Fellgiebel pp119–135,485–486"/> 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.<ref>Fellgiebel 2000, pp. 49–51, 102–111.</ref> 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.

Heinrich Himmler had approved the nomination. On 5 March, ''Major'' Joachim Domaschk contacted the 9th Volksgrenadier-Division by teleprinter message because all the intermittent approvals were missing. He reached out to the 7th Army, requesting the 2nd and 3rd version of the nomination via the command chain. The division was annihilated shortly after this date in the vicinity of Lauterecken. The remains of the division retreated together with the 1st Army to the area south of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The 9th Volksgrenadier-Division was already disbanded when Domaschk reminded the 1st Army again on 29 April: "The Knight's Cross nomination for Joseph Baier is to be expedited." A presentation was never made. A file card for an approved or rejected presentation was not created. According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree.

The receipt of a nomination by his unit with the ''Heerespersonalamt'' (HPA—Army Staff Office) or the ''Außenstelle'' of the ''Heerespersonalamt'' (HPA/A—Branch of the Army Staff Office) cannot be verified. A ''Heerespersonalamt''-''Verleihungsvorschlag'' (HPA-VV— Army Staff Office Nomination Recommendation) was definitely not created. Also, the responsible official at the time would have deferred the nomination from Heeresgruppe B after its capitulation after 17 April according to AHA 44 ''Ziff.'' 572. A presentation on 29 April via the HPA or the HPA/A is very unlikely. A statement provided by the first scribe of the 9.

Panzerkorps on 11 January 1945. The Division "Feldherrnhalle" had also submitted a nomination on 25 January 1945. Both nominations were sent to the 6th Army. Here they were left unattended, later consolidated, and approved by the commander-in-chief General Hermann Balck on 15 April 1945 and then forwarded to the Army Group. This nomination was received by the ''Heerespersonalamt'' (HPA—Army Staff Office) "''Hauptbüro''" (main office) on 28 April 1945, in this instance the 2nd squadron and not the 1st squadron. The Army Group South had made an error and wrongly addressed it to the HPA 2nd squadron. The Army Group, against regulation, had also not commented on the nomination and had explicitly mentioned this in the accompanying letter. The reason for this remains unknown. The entry date of 25 January 1945 which is noted on the file card is not the entry date but the date on which the Division "Feldherrnhalle" had created their nomination. The book "''Verliehene Ritterkreuze''" (Awarded Knight Crosses) does not list Bayer. No further proof that the presentation was made can be found in the archives. According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. Bayer himself stated on 10 February 2005 that the I./Panzer-Regiment 26 had "lent" him to the Division "Feldherrnhalle" where he was deployed as a company commander. He also stated that the battalion commander had presented him a Knight's Cross in January 1945 after he had received a radio message approving the nomination.<ref>Scherzer 2007, pp. 119–120.</ref>|group="Dispute"}} | Heer | 14-H''Hauptmann''<ref name="Fellgiebel p125"/> | Commander of the I./Panzer-Regiment 26<ref name="Fellgiebel p125"/> | {{dts|format=dmy|1945|May|9}}<ref name="Fellgiebel p125"/> | {{center|—}} | {{center|—}} |- !
