Luftwaffe Efficiency and Promotion Reports for the Knight's Crs Winners: Vol I (Hardcover)

In World War I German and British bombers sometimes faced a few
dozen light machine-guns defending the target. In World War II
Luftwaffe Stuka dive-bombers braved the combined fire of over 1,000
anti-aircraft guns to sink several capital ships at Kronstadt in
the Gulf of Finland. In World War I hundreds of thousands of German
troops fought months to gain ground measured in yards. During World
War II, eighty-five FallschirmjAger captured one of the world's
strongest fortifications at Fort Eben Emael, Belgium - manned by
1,200 defenders - in only eighteen hours in May 1940. As a result
of these and many other deeds of valor, some 1,785 Luftwaffe
officers and enlisted men won the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross
- World War II Germany's highest decoration for bravery. This is
their story through the eyes of the commanders of 113 of these men,
as recorded in their official efficiency reports contained here.
Volume 1 contains detailed biographies and official efficiency and
promotion reports for fifty-three Knight's Cross winners, as well
as biographies for sixty-seven rating commanders.
