The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was principally the highest
award given to German fighters to recognise extreme battlefield
bravery or successful military leadership during World War II. The
Gold Close Combat Clasp, awarded for at least 50 days of
hand-to-hand fighting and often regarded in higher esteem than the
Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross by the German infantry, was only
awarded to 631 German soldiers. Out of the millions who fought for
Germany in World War II, only 98 received both the Knight's Cross
and the Close-Combat Clasp in Gold; providing definitive reference
with action-packed narrative and exhaustive footnotes, this volume
includes profiles of those servicemen from the Army, the Luftwaffe,
and the Waffen SS. Packed with hundreds of photos, many of them not
available elsewhere, this is a fascinating profile of some of the
bravest soldiers of World War II.
