騎士鉄十字章（ドイツ語：Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes）およびその派生語は、第二次世界大戦中のナチスドイツの軍隊および準軍事組織における最高勲章であった。騎士鉄十字章は、戦闘で部隊を巧みに指揮した上級指揮官から、極めて勇敢な一幕を行った下級兵士まで、幅広い理由であらゆる階級に授与された。[1] 1939年9月30日の最初の授与から1945年6月17日の最後の授与までの間に、合計7,321件の授与が行われた。[注 1]この数は、騎士鉄十字章受章者協会（AKCR）の勲章委員会の分析と承認に基づいている。授与式はドイツ国防軍の3つの軍種、すなわち陸軍、海軍、空軍のほか、武装親衛隊、帝国労働奉仕団（RAD）、国民突撃隊（ドイツ国民軍）のメンバーにも行われた。また、第三帝国の同盟国の軍隊からも43名が受賞した。 [ 3 ]
これらの受賞者は、ヴァルター・ペール・フェルギーベルの著書『騎士鉄十字章受章者 1939-1945』の1986年版に掲載されている。フェルギーベルは、ドイツ騎士鉄十字章受章委員会の元委員長兼委員長であった。1996年に、この本の第2版が、これらの最初の受賞者のうち11人をリストから削除する付録付きで出版された。作家ファイト・シェルツァーは、これらのリストのうちさらに193人について疑問を投げかけている。論争の的となっている受賞者の大半は、1945年にこの賞に推薦されていたが、第二次世界大戦末期のドイツの状況悪化により、多くの推薦が不完全で、承認プロセスのさまざまな段階で保留になっていた。[4]
ここに掲載されているのは、姓が「Schu–Sz」の範囲にある603人の受章者です。[5]シャーツァーは、このリストのうち14件の有効性に異議を唱えています。[6]これは、姓が「S」で始まる騎士鉄十字章受章者1,060人全員を記載した2つのリストのうちの2番目です。姓が「Sa–Schr」で始まる残りの受章者は、騎士鉄十字章受章者一覧（Sa–Schr）に掲載されています。[7]受章者は姓のアルファベット順に並べられています。記載されている階級は、騎士鉄十字章が授与された時点での受章者の階級です。
背景
騎士鉄十字章とその上級等級は、4つの別々の制定法に基づいていた。最初の制定法である1939年9月1日の帝国法典I S. 1573は、鉄十字章( Eisernes Kreuz )、騎士鉄十字章、鉄十字大十字章( Großkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes ) を制定した。制定法の第2条では、上級の等級の授与には、それ以前の全ての等級の授与が先行しなければならないと規定されていた。 [8]戦争が進むにつれて、騎士十字章の受章者の一部がさらに活躍し、より上級の等級である柏葉騎士鉄十字章( Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub ) が制定された。一般にオークの葉と呼ばれているものは、1940 年 6 月 3 日の制定法Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 849に基づいています。 [9] 1941 年に、2 つの上位等級の騎士十字章が制定されました。1941 年 9 月 28 日の制定法Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 613 では、樫の葉と剣を備えた騎士鉄十字章( Ritterkreuz des Aisernen Kreuzes mit Aichenlaub und Schwertern ) と樫の葉、剣とダイヤモンドを備えた騎士鉄十字章( Ritterkreuz des Aisernen Kreuzes mit)が導入されました。アイヒェンラウブ、シュヴェルテルン、ブリランテン）。[10] 1944年末、1944年12月29日の制定法Reichsgesetzblatt 1945 I S. 11に基づいた、金樫の葉、剣、ダイヤモンドをあしらった騎士鉄十字章（Ritterkreuz des Aisernen Kreuzes mit goldem Aichenlaub, Schwertern und Brillanten ）が最終等級となり、ナイツクロス認定。[11]
受信者
ドイツ国防軍最高司令部は、陸軍、海軍、空軍、武装親衛隊の3つの軍種ごとに別々の騎士十字章リストを保持していた。これらのリストのそれぞれで、各受賞者に固有の連番が割り当てられていた。同じ番号付けパラダイムが騎士十字章の上級等級にも適用され、等級ごとに1つのリストがあった。[12]姓が「Schu–Sz」の範囲にある軍人に授与された603の受賞者のうち、68人は後に柏葉付騎士鉄十字章、10人は柏葉・剣付騎士鉄十字章、2人は柏葉・剣・ダイヤモンド付騎士鉄十字章を授与され、52人は死後に授与された。国民突撃隊を含む陸軍のメンバーは384個のメダルを受け取り、そのうち21個はドイツ海軍、158個はドイツ空軍、40個は武装SSと一般SSに贈られた。[5]柏葉付騎士鉄十字章の843より大きい連番と柏葉・剣付騎士鉄十字章の143より大きい連番は非公式であり、騎士十字章受章者協会（AKCR）によって割り当てられたため括弧内に示されている。[13]
これと + (プラス) は、より高い等級の騎士十字章も授与されたことを示しています。
これと*（アスタリスク）は、騎士十字章が死後に授与されたことを示しています。
これと「？」（疑問符）は、著者の Veit Scherzer がリストの真実性と形式的な正確性に関して疑問を表明していることを示しています。
Notes
- ^ 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.[2]

According to the file card it was immediately forwarded for further processing. The file card of the Heerespersonalamt (HPA—Army Staff Office) was not retained and remained unfinished by the end of the war. Mr Meentz of the German Federal Archives stated on 20 July 2004 that it can not be verified that Senbergs received the Knight's Cross. The order commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) processed the case in 1981 and decided: "Knight's Cross yes, 9 May 1945". While Krätschmer also states the 9 May 1945, Walther-Peer Fellgiebel changed this again later.[39]
- ^ Franz Sensfuß nomination for the Oak Leaves was received by the Heerespersonalamt (HPA—Army Staff Office) from his unit on 14 March 1945. Major Joachim Domaschk requested by teleprinter message the advisory opinion from the Commander-in-Chief of Armee-Oberkommando 1 and Heeresgruppe B. The 212. Volks-Grenadier-Division at the time was being encircled by US forces in the vicinity of Baumholder and went into captivity. Major Domaschk had sent a radio message to the nominating commander of the LXXX. Armeekorps: "Nomination deferred according to AHA 44 Ziff. 572." Domaschk noted on the nomination: "Deferred, because missing in action!" A presentation was never made. Sensfuß is not listed in the book for the "nominations for the higher grades of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross" nor in the nomination book for Knight's Cross (starting with Nr. 5100).

Armee Theodor Busse via teleprinter message on 21 April 1945 announcing that a detailed statement with explanations will follow. This nomination went to the chief of the HPA in Berlin and to the Army Group Vistula. Major Joachim Domaschk noted on 28 April: "Waiting for announced statement!". The nomination list of the higher grade of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves notes the entry date of 19 March 1945. This is the date when the nomination was sent. An almost unreadable comment states "Waiting". According to Walther-Peer Fellgiebel a note claims "service proposal regarding immediate presentation pending".[60] Scherzer does not confirm this entry but states that a comment "Waiting for announced statement" is noted instead. No further comments indicate that the nomination was further processed. According to the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) the award was presented in accordance with the Dönitz-decree.

According to the file card, it was rejected on 10 March 1945. There is no evidence of a second nomination by his unit for a later deed, or a direct presentation via the empowered Armeeoberkommando Ostpreußen. The claim that he received the Knight's Cross, as well as the Close Combat Clasp in Gold and the Honour Roll Clasp of the Army, which apparently resulted from the rejected first Knight's Cross nomination, is based on Singer's testimony and is not verifiable in the German Federal Archives. The presentation date is either Singer's claim or based on the assumption of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR). Singer was a member of the AKCR.[61]

Stahl is not listed on the nomination list of the higher grade of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves nor in the nomination book for Knight's Cross (starting with Nr. 5100). The Order Commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) processed this case in 1975 and decided: "879th Oak Leaves, 9 May 1945".

Another nomination, bypassing the official command chain, was also submitted directly to the Führer's Adjutant of the Wehrmacht. This nomination was also submitted for official processing to the HPA on 11 March, where it arrived on 13 March. Domaschk then revoked his earlier decision and stated: "Insufficient explanatory statement, Requesting more details!". No further comments regarding the presentation or work in progress have been noted. The nomination list of the higher grade of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves indicates an entry date of 2 March 1945. Also noted is forwarding date of the Führer on 11 March. A presentation date is not stated. A comment indicating "Unfinished" was noted. Major Domasch apparently halted the approval process on 13 March and was waiting for further clarifying information. It appears that this information never arrived before the end of the war. The Order Commission of the Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) processed this case in 1978 and decided: "Oak Leaves yes, 9 May 1945". 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. The presentation number "880" was assigned by the AKCR. The presentation date was assigned by the Walther-Peer Fellgiebel. Störck was a member of the AKCR.[114]

- ^ Nepomuk Stützle's nomination by his unit was most likely sent as a teleprinter message to the Außenstelle of the Heerespersonalamt (HPA/A—Branch of the Army Staff Office). This nomination no longer exists. A Außenstelle-Heerespersonalamt-Verleihungsvorschlag (HPA/A-VV—Branch of the Army Staff Office Nomination Recommendation) was created and presented to Karl Dönitz for signature. The Oberbefehlshaber Nordwest and HPA/A had approved the nomination. Dönitz signature is missing and the nomination was left unfinished at the end of the war. The Association of Knight's Cross Recipients (AKCR) claims that the presentation was in accordance with the Dönitz-decree. This is illegal according to the Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) and lacks legal justification. Stützle was a member of the AKCR.[130]
